Tibidabo: a syntactically and semantically annotated corpus of Spanish

Abstract

In this paper, I discuss the theoretical and practical issues raised in the development of Tibidabo, a syntactically and semantically annotated corpus of Spanish, which has been developed using the DELPH-IN corpus annotation environment and the HPSG-based grammar, SRG. I describe in detail the linguistic analysis that Tibidabo provides, focussing on various syntactic phenomena that are frequently discussed in the literature and consider alternative analyses proposed in the HPSG literature and in AnCora, another Spanish Treebank.
