Abstract

In this paper, we present the process in the construction of SF-EPEC, a 300,000-word corpus syntactically annotated that aims to be a Gold Standard for the surface syntactic processing of Basque. First, the tagset designed for this purpose is described; being Basque an agglutinative language, sometimes complex syntactic tags were needed. We also account for the different phases in the construction of SF-EPEC.
