| Challenge: | morphology and syntax work on sentence level, but semantic-pragmatic phenomena are often related to two or more neighbouring sentences and possibly to an extra-linguistic context. |
| Approach: | They present semantic-pragmatic specification and annotations in the Prague Dependency Treebank - Consolidated 2.0 release2 by annotating the entire corpus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotations are based on the Prague Dependency Treebank -Consolidated 2.0 (PDT-C 2.0) the dataset contains more than 3 million tokens (of Czech) manually annotated from morphology to surface and deep syntax including several types of semantic-pragmatic annotations. |

Announcing the Prague Discourse Treebank 3.0 (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | PDiT 3.0 contains 21,662 discourse relations (plus 445 list relations) in 49 thousand sentences. |
| Approach: | They present the Prague Discourse Treebank 3.0, a new version of the annotation of discourse relations marked by primary and secondary discourse connectives in the Prague Dependency Treebank. |
| Outcome: | The new version of the PDiT 3.0 brings a largely revised annotation of discourse relations and achieves consistency with a Lexicon of Czech Discourse Connectives (CzeDLex) and sense taxonomy. |

Spoken Language Treebanks in Universal Dependencies: an Overview (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | spoken language treebanks have divergent annotation schemes limiting cross-resource explorations . many spoken language trees have no written form, but many of the world languages have no spoken form at all. |
| Approach: | They propose to use the Universal Dependencies annotation scheme to annotate spoken language treebanks using a morphosyntactic annotation scheme. |
| Outcome: | The proposed treebanks differ significantly with respect to the inventory and format of transcribed phenomena and the principles adopted in their morphosyntactic annotation. |
