| Abstract | This paper reports on the syntactic annotation of a previously compiled andtagged corpus of European Portuguese (EP) dialects ― The Syntax-orientedCorpus of Portuguese Dialects (CORDIAL-SIN). The parsed version of CORDIAL-SINis intended to be a more efficient resource for the purpose of studying dialectsyntax by allowing automated searches for various syntactic constructions ofinterest. To achieve this goal we adopted a rich annotation system (the UPenncorpora annotation system) which codifies syntactic information of highrelevance. The annotation produces tree representations, in form of labelledparenthesis, that are integrally searchable with CorpusSearch, a search enginefor parsed corpora (Randall, 2005-2007). The present paper focuses onCORDIAL-SIN annotation issues, namely it presents the general principles andguidelines of the adopted annotation system and describes the methodology forconstructing the parsed version of the corpus and for searching it (tools andprocedures). Last section addresses the question of how an annotation systemoriginally designed for Middle English can be adapted to meet the particularneeds of a Portuguese corpus of dialectal speech. |
