Description

UD Coptic contains manually annotated Sahidic Coptic texts, currently from the Gospel of Mark, Shenoute of Atripe’s “Not Because a Fox Barks”, the Letters of Besa, and several short stories from the Apophthegmata Patrum.

The Coptic Universal Dependency Treebank is a manually annotated corpus of Sahidic Coptic texts, currently containing excerpts from the Sahidic New Testament Gospel of Mark, Archmandrite Shenoute of Atripe’s “Not Because a Fox Barks”, the Letters of Besa, and several short stories from the Apophthegmata Patrum (Sayings of the Desert Fathers). Detailed information about the treebank is available here:

http://copticscriptorium.org/treebank.html

The data was digitized and annotated manually for part of speech in the project Coptic Scriptorium. For individual credit and further information see:

http://copticscriptorium.org/

Coptic POS tags come from the Coptic Scriptorium tag set, which is available from the project and treebank websites.

Acknowledgments

The underlying POS tagged material was produced as part of the projects Coptic Scriptorium, KOMeT and KELLIA, funded by the NEH in the USA and BMBF and DFG in Germany (see http://copticscriptorium.org/ for more details). Treebank annotation was done mainly by Mitchell Abrams, Liz Davidson and Amir Zeldes. Thanks are also due to Israel Avrahamy, Asael Benyami, Yinon Kahan and Oran Szachter for their contributions.
