English-Arabic Treebank v 1.0

<h3>Introduction</h3><br>
<p>English-Arabic Parallel Treebank v 1.0 was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and consists of 52,238 words in 224 files of individual Agence France Presse (AFP) news stories.</p><br>
<p>The AFP stories included here correspond to approximately the first 50K words of <a href="../../../LDC2005T02">Arabic Treebank: Part 1 v 3.0 (LDC2005T02)</a>. The English translation was provided by LDC, and was part-of-speech tagged and treebanked for this project.</p><br>
<h3>Data</h3><br>
<p>The guidelines followed for both part-of-speech and treebank annotation are essentially Penn Treebank II style, with two notable differences:</p><br>
<ol><br>
<li>POS: tokenization of hyphenated items ("New York-based" has been replaced by "New York - based" for example), and the addition of HYPH and AFX tags necessitated by this change in tokenization</li><br>
<li>TreeBank: the addition of the node label NML for sub-NP nominal constituents (replacing NX and most NP-internal NAC)</li><br>
</ol><br>
<p>More detailed addenda to the Penn Treebank II guidelines and a mapping from the original Arabic Treebank filenames to the current filenames used in this release can be found in the associated documentation.</p><br>
