This is the wiki for the Icelandic Parsed Historical Corpus (IcePaHC) (The Icelandic Treebank). It is mostly used to document the annotation standard for those constructing and using the corpus. The annotation scheme for the Icelandic corpus is meant to be mostly compatible with the Penn historical corpora, and the guidelines here are written as a supplement to the Penn guidelines, so look at Beatrice Santorini's guidelines for further information.

Download

You can download the Icelandic corpus from the download page. The corpus is released under a free and open source license (LGPL) and there is no registration wall. The current release is version 0.5 which is a preview release of about 632.000 words from every century between the 12th and the 20th centuries inclusive. We recommend use of released versions to ensure that results can be replicated but between releases you can watch the development at Github.
