Abstract

The paper describes PARS - a manually annotated corpus of spoken Russian, which was built intentionally for training parsing algorithms and extracting grammars from Russian spontaneous speech. PARS corpus includes multiple annotation levels starting from signal-level boundaries of word forms and discourse units ending with syntactic structure representations following Universal Dependencies standard. Presented results include detailed description of corpus structure, principles of annotation and annotation levels.
