A new attribute class for annotating syntactic dependency relations
- Language corpora, used as data for linguistic research and machine learning, are traditionally annotated with lemmas, part-of-speech tags, and, possibly, morphosyntactic categories. As a lightweight, inline, representation of such (mostly automatic) annotations, the TEI Guidelines provide the att.linguistic class with @lemma, @lemmaRef, @pos, @msd, and @join attributes (cf. Bańskiet al., 2018). Increasingly, corpora are also annotated with syntactic parses in terms of dependency relations between tokens, as a basis for syntactic queries or inferences. A de facto standard for that, supported by a wide array of tools, is the Universal Dependencies framework (UD; cf. Marneffe et al., 2021) with its CoNLL-U format. The present contribution outlines a potential extension of the TEI Guidelines for annotations of syntactic dependency relations, in the form of a new attribute class called att.linguistic.dependency, which extends att.linguistic with the attributes @head and @deprel and several conventions.
