Talbanken is a widely used Swedish treebank, read more about its history and different versions here. This version was created by Joakim Nivre et al. at Uppsala University as part of The Swedish Treebank (STB). It is now being distributed by Språkbanken Text, and for reproducibility’s sake we keep it in exactly the same form as it was when we received it, without any corrections. This version is not indexed by our search engine Korp.

Annotation

The following layers of annotation were added (or corrected) manually and can be considered gold data: tokenization, sentence segmentation, POS, MSD, dependency syntax (deprel and dephead).

Tokenization, sentence segmentation, POS and MSD follow the SUC format, syntactic annotation follows the Mamba-Dep format, a conversion of the MAMBA format used in the original Talbanken76 to dependency grammar.

Read more about these annotation layers in the documentation or at Joakim Nivre's page: tokenization and sentence segmentation, POS and MSD, dependency syntax.

All other annotation, including lemmatization, was created automatically by Sparv.
