MaiBaam Annotation Guidelines
Verena Blaschke Barbara Kovačić Siyao Peng Barbara Plank
This document provides the annotation guidelines for MaiBaam, a Bavarian
corpus annotated with part-of-speech (POS) tags and syntactic dependencies.
MaiBaam belongs to the Universal Dependencies (UD) project, and our annotations
elaborate on the general and German UD version 2 guidelines. In this document,
we detail how to preprocess and tokenize Bavarian data, provide an overview of
the POS tags and dependencies we use, explain annotation decisions that would
also apply to closely related languages like German, and lastly we introduce
and motivate decisions that are specific to Bavarian grammar.
