Product
TüPP-D/Z is a collection of articles from the taz newspaper which have been automatically annotated with clause structure, topological fields, and chunks, in addition to more low level annotation including parts of speech and morphological ambiguity classes. All texts are processed automatically, starting from paragraph, sentence and token segmentation. Tokens include information about some regular types of named entities, including dates, telephone numbers, and number/unit combinations.
The TüPP-D/Z data of the current release are taken from the 1999 HTML distribution (scientific edition) of the taz, which includes newspaper articles from September 2, 1986 up to May 7, 1999 and which amounts to more than 200 million word tokens of text.
Copyright of the linguistic annotation of TüPP-D/Z is to the Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft at the Eberhard-Karls Universität Tübingen.
