A Description Language for Syntactically Annotated Corpora

This paper introduces a description language for syntactically annotated corpora which allows for encoding both the syntactic annotation to a corpus and the queries to a syntactically annotated corpus. In terms of descriptive adequacy and computational e ciency, the description language is a compromise between script-like corpus query languages and high-level, typed uni cation-based grammar formalisms.
