A tree is a Baum is an árbol is a sach’a: Creating a trilingual treebank

Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2012)

Abstract

This paper describes the process of constructing a trilingual parallel treebank. While for two of the involved languages, Spanish and German, there are already corpora with well-established annotation schemes available, this is not the case with the third language: Cuzco Quechua (ISO 639-3:quz), a low-resourced, non-standardized language for which we had to define a linguistically plausible annotation scheme first.
