# UD_Lithuanian-ALKSNIS

Treebank card from UD release 2.18: metadata and texts come from `UD_Lithuanian-ALKSNIS/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_Lithuanian-ALKSNIS](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/treebanks/lt/alksnis/papers/); seeds: `seeds/`; converter: `convert.md`.

## Annotation layers

| Layer | Origin |
| --- | --- |
| Lemmas | manual native |
| UPOS | converted from manual |
| XPOS | manual native |
| Features | converted from manual |
| Relations | converted from manual |

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 |

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.

## Summary

> The Lithuanian dependency treebank ALKSNIS v3.0 (Vytautas Magnus University).

## Introduction

> This is a conversion of the ALKSNIS treebank to Universal Dependencies. The original treebank was annotated in a style derived from the Prague Dependency Treebank of Czech. The original treebank is available at [https://github.com/Semantika2/Alksnis-v.3.0](https://github.com/Semantika2/Alksnis-v.3.0). ALKSNIS v2.1 is published in the CLARIN LT repository at [http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11821/10](http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11821/10). (Some users experience DNS errors when trying to access the repository; configuring the client machine to use 8.8.8.8 as the DNS server may help. See also [http://clarin-lt.lt/?page_id=86](http://clarin-lt.lt/?page_id=86).)
> 
> ALKSNIS v3 consists of 3,643 syntactically annotated sentences. Each node of a tree corresponds to a word, a punctuation mark or other text element (symbol, digit etc.) within a sentence. The following information is presented for each node: 1) a used form; 2) a lemma; 3) a morphology tag, and 4) a syntactic function (subject, object, etc.). Dependencies are shown by links between words.
> 
> The morphology tag set Jablonskis is used since ALKSNIS v2.2 and in the XPOS column of the UD conversion. This is a change from ALKSNIS 2 where a version of the MULTEXT-East tag set was used.
> 
> <!--A version of the MULTEXT-East (http://nl.ijs.si/ME/V4/msd/html/index.html) tag set is used in ALKSNIS v2 and in the XPOS column of the UD conversion.-->
> 
> Syntactically annotated sentences are corrected according to guidelines that were created by scientists of VMU CCL, following rules of Prague Dependency Treebank. All the sentences are being manually checked and corrected by a group of linguists.
