The PADT project might be summarized as an open-ended activity of the Center for Computational Linguistics, the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, and the Institute of Comparative Linguistics, Charles University in Prague, resting in multi-level annotation of Arabic language resources in the light of the theory of Functional Generative Description (Sgall et al., 1986; Hajičová and Sgall, 2003).
Texts
The Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PCEDT 2.0) is a major update of the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank 1.0 (LDC2004T25). It is a manually parsed Czech-English parallel corpus sized over 1.2 million running words in almost 50,000 sentences for each part.
Data
The English part contains the entire Penn Treebank - Wall Street Journal Section (LDC99T42). The Czech part consists of Czech translations of all of the Penn Treebank-WSJ texts. The corpus is 1:1 sentence-aligned. An additional automatic alignment on the node level (different for each annotation layer) is part of this release, too. The original Penn Treebank-like file structure (25 sections, each containing up to one hundred files) has been preserved. Only those PTB documents which have both POS and structural annotation (total of 2312 documents) have been translated to Czech and made part of this release.
Each language part is enhanced with a comprehensive manual linguistic annotation in the PDT 2.0 style (LDC2006T01, Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0). The main features of this annotation style are:
dependency structure of the content words and coordinating and similar structures (function words are attached as their attribute values)
semantic labeling of content words and types of coordinating structures
argument structure, including an argument structure ("valency") lexicon for both languages
ellipsis and anaphora resolution.
This annotation style is called tectogrammatical annotation and it constitutes the tectogrammatical layer in the corpus. For more details see below and documentation.
Annotation of the Czech part
Sentences of the Czech translation were automatically morphologically annotated and parsed into surface-syntax dependency trees in the PDT 2.0 annotation style. This annotation style is sometimes called analytical annotation; it constitutes the analytical layer of the corpus. The manual tectogrammatical (deep-syntax) annotation was built as a separate layer above the automatic analytical (surface-syntax) parse. A sample of 2,000 sentences was manually annotated on the analytical layer.
Annotation of the English part
The resulting manual tectogrammatical annotation was built above an automatic transformation of the original phrase-structure annotation of the Penn Treebank into surface dependency (analytical) representations, using the following additional linguistic information from other sources:
PropBank (LDC2004T14)
VerbNet
NomBank (LDC2008T23)
flat noun phrase structures (by courtesy of D. Vadas and J.R. Curran)
For each sentence, the original Penn Treebank phrase structure trees are preserved in this corpus together with their links to the analytical and tectogrammatical annotation. and Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic projects No.:

Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank - Russian translation (PCEDT-R) is a project of translating a subset of Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PCEDT 2.0) to Russian and linguistically annotating the Russian translations with emphasis on coreference and cross-lingual alignment of coreferential expressions. Cross-lingual comparison of coreference means is currently the purpose that drives development of this corpus.
The current version 0.5 is a preliminary version, which contains (+ denotes new features):
* complete PCEDT 2.0 documents "wsj_1900"-"wsj_1949"
* Czech-English word alignment of coreferential expressions annotated manually mainly on the t-layer
+ Russian translations of the original English sentences
+ automatic tokenization, part-of-speech tagging and morphological analysis for Russian
+ automatic word alignment between all Czech and Russian words
+ manual alignment between Russian and the other two languages on possessive pronouns
The Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank 2.0 Coref (PCEDT 2.0 Coref) is a parallel treebank building upon the original PCEDT 2.0 release and enriching it with the extended manual annotation of coreference, as well as with an improved automatic annotation of the coreferential expression alignment.
PDTSC 1.0 is a multi-purpose corpus of spoken language. 768,888 tokens, 73,374 sentences and 7,324 minutes of spontaneous dialog speech have been recorded, transcribed and edited in several interlinked layers: audio recordings, automatic and manual transcription and manually reconstructed text.
PDTSC 1.0 is a delayed release of data annotated in 2012. It is an update of Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Language (PDTSL) 0.5 (published in 2009). In 2017, Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech (PDTSC) 2.0 was published as an update of PDTSC 1.0.
A richly annotated and genre-diversified language resource, The Prague Dependency Treebank – Consolidated 1.0 (PDT-C 1.0, or PDT-C in short in the sequel) is a consolidated release of the existing PDT-corpora of Czech data, uniformly annotated using the standard PDT scheme. PDT-corpora included in PDT-C: Prague Dependency Treebank (the original PDT contents, written newspaper and journal texts from three genres); Czech part of Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (translated financial texts, from English), Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech (spoken data, including audio and transcripts and multiple speech reconstruction annotation); PDT-Faust (user-generated texts). The difference from the separately published original treebanks can be briefly described as follows: it is published in one package, to allow easier data handling for all the datasets; the data is enhanced with a manual linguistic annotation at the morphological layer and new version of morphological dictionary is enclosed; a common valency lexicon for all four original parts is enclosed. Documentation provides two browsing and editing desktop tools (TrEd and MEd) and the corpus is also available online for searching using PML-TQ.
The Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PDT 2.0) contains a large amount of Czech texts with complex and interlinked morphological (two million words), syntactic (1.5 MW) and complex semantic annotation (0.8 MW); in addition, certain properties of sentence information structure and coreference relations are annotated at the semantic level.
PDT 2.0 is based on the long-standing Praguian linguistic tradition, adapted for the current Computational Linguistics research needs. The corpus itself uses the latest annotation technology. Software tools for corpus search, annotation and language analysis are included. Extensive documentation (in English) is provided as well. and 1ET101120413 (Data a nástroje pro informační systémy) MSM 0021620838 (Moderní metody, struktury a systémy informatiky) 1ET101120503 (Integrace jazykových zdrojů za účelem extrakce informací z přirozených textů) 1P05ME752 (Vícejazyčný valenční a predikátový slovník přirozeného jazyka) LC536 (Centrum komputační lingvistiky)
