Icelandic Parsed Historical Corpus (IcePaHC)
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 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 IcePaHC
You can download the Icelandic corpus from the download page. The corpus is released under a free and open source license (CC BY). The current release is version 2024.03 of 1 million total from every century between the 12th and the 21st 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.
