Directory         1.     Josef Ruppenhofer , German SALSA Corpus Release 2.0 Message 1: German SALSA Corpus Release 2.0 Date: 11-Nov-2011 From: Josef Ruppenhofer <josefrcoli.uni-saarland.de> Subject: German SALSA Corpus Release 2.0 E-mail this message to a friend The second and final release of the SALSA corpus, a German corpus with semantic role annotations in the Berkeley FrameNet paradigm is available for download at http://www.coli.uni- saarland.de/projects/salsa/corpus/. The corpus was created by the SALSA project at Saarland University under the direction of Manfred Pinkal. Work on the corpus was supported by funds from a Leibniz prize awarded to Manfred Pinkal and by the German Science Foundation (DFG; grants PI 154/9-3, PI 154/8-1). The frame semantic annotations are applied on top of the TIGER treebank, a syntactically annotated German newspaper corpus. Salsa release 2 references TIGER version 2.1. More information on TIGER and FrameNet can be found here: http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/TIGER/ https://framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu/fndrupal/ SALSA uses the frames of FrameNet releases 1.2 and 1.3 for the German annotation, wherever available and appropriate. In addition, SALSA has developed a number of ''proto-frames'', i.e., predicate- specific frames, to provide coverage for predicate instances currently not covered by FrameNet. The total size of the annotation is roughly 20.000 verbal target instances and, new in Salsa release 2, more than 17.000 nominal target instances. More information on SALSA can be found on the website: http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/projects/salsa/ The annotation scheme is described in: A. Burchardt, K. Erk, A. Frank, A. Kowalski, S. Pado and M. Pinkal. The SALSA Corpus: a German Corpus Resource for Lexical Semantics. In: Proceedings of LREC 2006, Genoa, Italy.
