Description

A Universal Dependencies treebank for Middle Armenian developed for UD originally by the ArmTDP team led by Marat M. Yavrumyan at the Yerevan State University.

The UD_Middle_Armenian-ArmTDP treebank is derived from the Middle Armenian component of the ArmTDP v3.0 (Հայերենի ծառադարան), a comprehensive corpus of the Armenian language across various genres. Adhering strictly to Universal Dependencies (UD) guidelines, the dataset was manually annotated by the ArmTDP team. The processing pipeline—including tokenization and POS-tagging—utilized a hybrid approach of glossary-based automation followed by rigorous manual revision. As the only manually verified corpus of Middle Armenian, it provides exhaustive morphological and syntactic annotations, featuring complete dependency trees for every sentence.
