Questions, comments? General annotation questions (either Ancient Hebrew-specific or cross-linguistic) can be raised in the main UD issue tracker. You can report bugs in this treebank in the treebank-specific issue tracker on Github. If you want to collaborate, please contact [awesomeevildudes (æt) gmail • com]. Development of the treebank happens outside the UD repository. If there are bugs, either the original data source or the conversion procedure must be fixed. Do not submit pull requests against the UD repository.

Description

UD Ancient Hebrew PTNK contains portions of the Biblia Hebraic Stuttgartensia with morphological annotations from ETCBC.

This treebank contains portions of the Hebrew Bible as digitized and annotated in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (Amstelodamensis) by the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Those annotations are licensed under Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).

The corpus can be found at github.com/etcbc/bhsa. The dependency annotations were generated using VISL CG-3 and manually verified by Daniel Swanson. The code for generating them can be found at https://github.com/mr-martian/hbo-UD. Errors in the data should be reported to that repository.

abstract = "In this paper we present the initial construction of a Universal Dependencies treebank with morphological annotations of Ancient Hebrew containing portions of the Hebrew Scriptures (1579 sentences, 27K tokens) for use in comparative study with ancient translations and for analysis of the development of Hebrew syntax. We construct this treebank by applying a rule-based parser (300 rules) to an existing morphologically-annotated corpus with minimal constituency structure and manually verifying the output and present the results of this semi-automated annotation process and some of the annotation decisions made in the process of applying the UD guidelines to a new language.",
