Description

A Turkish dependency treebank annotated in UD style. Created by the members of TABILAB from Boğaziçi University.

This is a Turkish dependency treebank in the Universal Dependencies (UD) annotation style. The BOUN Treebank is created by TABILAB and supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) under grant number 117E971.

The BOUN Treebank includes a total of 9,761 manually annotated sentences from various topics including biographical texts, national newspapers, instructional texts, popular culture articles, and essays. The texts are taken from the Turkish National Corpus (TNC).

The dependency relations in the BOUN Treebank is manually annotated in the UD framework. The morphological features and UPOS information are first retrieved from the morphological parser of Sak et al. (2011) and converted to UD morphology automatically using our script. The morphological features, UPOS tags, XPOS tags, and lemma forms are then manually corrected in a systematic way.

Acknowledgments

We are immensely grateful to Prof. Yeşim Aksan and the other members of the Turkish National Corpus Team for their tremendous help in providing us with sentences from the Turkish National Corpus.
