Description

This Universal Dependencies (UD) Japanese treebank is based on the definition of UD Japanese convention described in the UD documentation. The original sentences are from `Corpus of Historical Japanese’ (CHJ).

The Japanese UD treebank contains the sentences from CHJ Meiji Era / Taishō Era Series I: Magazines - Meiroku Zasshi samples http://pj.ninjal.ac.jp/corpus_center/chj/meiji_taisho-en.html with BCCWJ-DepPara[2] compatible annotation [5].

We prepared conversion rules from BCCWJ-DepPara to UD_Japanese v2.1 guidelines [3][4].
