UD for Old French

Sentence segmentation

Due to the natures of the original texts where sentence boundaries are not usually clearly marked by punctuation, we keep only one main clause per tree regardless of the punctuation added by modern transcriptions. See for instance in La queste del saint Graal,

Certes, fet li rois, Keus, vos dites voir, ceste costume ai je toz jorz tenue et la tendrai tant com je porrai mes je avoie si grant joie de Lancelot et de ses cousins qui estoient venu a cort sain et haitié qu’il ne me sovenoit de la costume.

Is split in four trees:

“Certes, fet li rois, Keus, vos dites voir”
“ceste costume ai je toz jorz tenue”
“et la tendrai tant com je porrai”
“mes je avoie si grant joie de Lancelot et de ses cousins qui estoient venu a cort sain et haitié qu’il ne me sovenoit de la costume.”

Tokenization and Word Segmentation

Words are delimited by whitespace or punctuation
Contractions such as sin = si + en are rendered as single words instead of multiword tokens, though this will probably change in the future. This is also reflected in their relation subtypes (see below).

Morphology

The following custom morphological features are used:

Morph=VFin : finite verb
Morph=VInf : non finite verb
Morph=VPar : verbal participle

Syntax

The following relation subtypes are used:

acl:relcl: relative clause
advmod:obl: contracted advmod and obl (eg. sin = si + en)
aux:pass: passive auxiliary
case:det: contracted case and det (eg. del = de + le)
cc:nc: non coordinating conjunction (eg. et at the beginning of a sentence)
mark:advmod: mark and advmod (eg. coment at the beginning of a subordinate clause)
nsubj:advmod: contracted nsubj and advmod (eg. jon = jo + en)
nsubj:obj: contracted nsubj and obj (eg. quil = qui + le)
obj:advmod: contracted advmod and obj (eg. sis = si + les)
obj:advneg: contracted negation and obj (eg. nes = ne + les)
obj:obl: contracted obl and obj (eg. oul = ou + le)
obl:advmod: the double labelling accounts for the difficulty to decide between obl and advmod relations (en and i).
