# UD_Alemannic-DIVITAL

Treebank card from UD release 2.18: metadata and texts come from `UD_Alemannic-DIVITAL/README.md`; size is counted by streaming the `.conllu` files and checked against the release `stats.xml`. Generated by `tools/treebanks build`; do not edit by hand. Papers: [Papers: UD_Alemannic-DIVITAL](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/treebanks/gsw/divital/papers/); seeds: `seeds/`; converter: `convert.md`.

## Annotation layers

| Layer | Origin |
| --- | --- |
| Lemmas | not available |
| UPOS | manual native |
| XPOS | not available |
| Features | not available |
| Relations | manual native |

UD scale: *manual native* — annotated by hand directly in UD; *converted from manual* — converted from manual annotation in another scheme; *converted with corrections* — converted and partly corrected by hand; *automatic with corrections* — automatic, with partial manual corrections; *automatic* — automatic; *not available* — the layer is absent.

## Size

| Split | Sentences | Tokens | Words | Multiword tokens | Empty nodes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| test | 977 | 19 334 | 19 743 | 409 | 0 |
| **total** | 977 | 19 334 | 19 743 | 409 | 0 |

Tokens are surface tokens (Spanish `vámonos` is one), words are syntactic words (`vamos` + `nos`); multiword tokens are those split into several words; empty nodes are the `N.M` nodes of the enhanced graph. Splits train, dev are absent from the release.

## Summary

> UD_Alemannic-DIVITAL is a manually corrected treebank of Alemannic Alsatian consisting of sentences from several genres.

## Introduction

> The corpus consists mostly of Low Alemannic Alsatian sentences. The sentences have been automatically annotated and manually verified.
> 
> The `MISC` column includes a gloss in French (`Gloss[fr]`) and a lemma in German (`Lemma[de]`).
> 
> Document metadata is included at the beginning of each new document (`#newdoc`): author, source, genre, audience, discourse_type, domain, factuality, form, origin, channel, language_variety.
>
