Questions, comments? General annotation questions (either Spanish Sign Language-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 [gallego (æt) uvigo • gal]. Development of the treebank happens directly in the UD repository, so you may submit bug fixes as pull requests against the dev branch.

Description
The Universal Dependency treebank for Spanish Sign Language (Lengua de Signos Española [LSE], ISO 639-3: ssp) was developed by the GRADES group at the University of Vigo.
This first release of the LSE-RADIS treebank comprises 488 sentences and 1881 tokens from three narratives and a set of 100 elicited isolated sentences. Hopefully, future releases will include more texts and sentences.
The LSE-RADIS dependency treebank is derived from RADIS corpus, which consists of 48 recordings of elicited narratives, interviews and isolated sentences signed in LSE. The eaf ELAN files with glossing and grammatical annotation are available at Zenodo.
Most recordings, along with glosses and translations, can be browsed and searched at http://isignos.uvigo.gal/en, where a Signbank lexicon with all the id-glosses is also available.
Acknowledgments
Glossing of the video recordings was performed mainly by Juan Ramón Valiño and Ania Pérez.
Manual grammatical annotation of the corpus, including syntactic annotation, format conversions and revisions was performed by Carmen Cabeza and Jose M. García-Miguel.
