TEI Levels:

The source of the corpus was the collection of the Hungarian Electronic Library and the collection of the Research Centre for the Humanities, Institute for Literary Studies. Dramas digitized from the holdings of the ELTE University Library and Archives were also used.

1. The texts were converted into TEI XML format based on the Text Encoding Initiative. The TEI XML files contain the annotation of structural units and the metadata of the dramas. The conversion was done manually (level1).2. Then, we tokenized the poems and annotated the grammatical features of words by using e-magya, an NLP tool chain for Hungarian texts. The level2 folder contains the TEI XML files in which the morphosyntactic features (values of the msd attributes) are annotated in the format of universal dependencies, while the level2_emMorph folder contains the same files in which the morphosyntactic features are annotated in its own, emMorph format of e-magyar.
