Description

UD Western Sierra Puebla Nahuatl-MesoTree is a combination of the existing UD Western Sierra Puebla Nahuatl-IU treebank (ITML) (with some updates to annotations due to caught errors or changes annotation decisions) and new sentences annotated as part of the NSF-funded project, “Syntactically-annotated corpora for endangered languages in areal contact” (MesoTree).

The ITML treebank was pre-annotated for morphology using the apertium-nhi (Pugh et al, 2021). The morphological analyses were disambiguated and annotated for dependency structure by hand. The MesoTree data does not include morphological analyses at this time.

The treebank consists of sentences from written fiction and non-fiction, spontanenous speech, and grammar examples. The new additions also consist of a large chunk of sentences (ALIMG) translated into two subvarieties of the language, one from San Miguel Tenango, Zacatlán, and another from Omitlán, Tepetzintla.
