Description

UD_Amharic-ATT is a manual developed Treebanks for Amharic. Sentences were collected from grammar books, fictions, biographies, religious texts and news.

UD_Amharic-ATT is a manually annotated Treebanks. It is annotated for POS tag, morphological information and dependency relations. Since Amharic is a morphologically-rich, pro-drop, and languages having a feature of clitic doubling, clitics have been segmented manually.

Acknowledgments

The treebank is developed by Binyam Ephrem, Gashaw Arutie, and Tsegay Woldemariam. The syntactic annotation was checked and corrected manually by Binyam Ephrem.
