Questions, comments? General annotation questions (either North Sami-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 [ftyers (æt) prompsit • 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

This is a North Sámi treebank based on a manually disambiguated and function-labelled gold-standard corpus of North Sámi produced by the Giellatekno team at UiT Norgga árktalaš universitehta.

The corpus was first analysed using a finite-state morphological analyser for North Sámi, and then disambiguated using a constraint-grammar-based disambiguator. The constraint grammar disambiguator also annotated syntactic function labels. The analyses and the function labels were manually corrected to produce a gold standard, and then a rule-based dependency parser was run on top of the gold data. On top of those parsers a series of tree-rewrite rules were used to convert the corpus to Universal Dependencies. Please see the paper below for details.

Acknowledgments

We are immensely grateful to the Giellatekno team, and especially to Trond Trosterud and Lene Antonsen for annotating the original data and for producing the rule-based parser on which the treebank is based. Their comments and help were invaluable.
