Abstract
In this paper, we describe outcomes of an undertaking on building Treebanks for underresourced languages Georgian, Russian, Ukrainian, and German - one of the “major” languages in the NLT world. The monolingual parallel sentences in four languages were syntactically annotated manually using the Synpathy tool. The tagsets follow an adapted version of the German TIGER guidelines with necessary changes relevant for the Georgian, the Russian and the Ukrainian languages grammar formal description. An output of the monolingual syntactic annotation is in the TIGER-XML format. Alignment of monolingual repository into the bilingual Treebanks was done by the Stockholm TreeAligner software. A demo of the GRUG treebank resources will be held during a poster session.
