Universal Syntactic Annotation Guidelines for Georgian

Abstract

One of the most crucial Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks is associated with the universality-driven development of language resources for different languages (e.g. Universal Dependencies (UD), UniMorph, PARSEME, etc.). This article describes the possibility of creating a Syntactic TreeBank for Georgian, and consists of four sections.
The first section briefly describes different linguistic resources that exist concerning Georgian and mentions the importance of syntactic annotation. The second section focuses on the tools used for mapping the existing targets for Georgian to the UD format. The third section includes a description of the principles of syntactic annotation and language-specific documentation files, while the fourth section summarizes the work done and describes the future stages of the development of the syntactic TreeBank.
