Bulgarian sense-annotated corpus – between the tradition and novelty

Abstract

The Bulgarian Sense-annotated Corpus (BulSemCor) is compiled according to the general methodology established by the SemCor project. It is a subset of the Brown Corpus of Bulgarian semantically annotated with a corresponding synonym set (synset) in the Bulgarian wordnet. Unlike the bulk of sense-annotated corpora where only (sets of) content words are annotated, in BulSemCor each lexical unit has been assigned a sense. The main contributions achieved in the work on BulSemCor are briefly decides in the presented paper: definition of an annotation schema, compilation of an input corpus, development of a sense-annotated corpus, Bulgarian wordnet enlargement.

Corpus data for the validation of the syntactic realisation of semantic frames

“…Булсемкор (BulSemCor) (Koeva et al 2006;Koeva et al 2011) е създаден по модела на оригиналния Семкор, като са добавени критерии за осигуряване на покритие на съвременната обща лексика. В допълнение към пълнозначните думи Булсемкор включва анотация и на служебните думи: предлози, съюзи, частици, местоимения и междуметия.…”
