Modern literature (Lit2009): novel Corpus Delicti: Ein Prozess by German author Juli Zeh, published in Frankfurt/Main in 2009.

Non-contemporary literature (Lit1850): Eine Frauenfahrt um die Welt ('A woman’s journey around the world') by Austrian author Ida Pfeiffer (1850). Full text available at Deutsches Textarchiv: http://www.deutschestextarchiv.de/pfeiffer_frauenfahrt01_1850/6.

The texts are annotated for part-of-speech and dependency syntax and are made available in CoNLL file format. We describe the annotation process and report inter-annotator agreements in:
