Summary

UD_Middle_French-PROFITEROLE is the Middle French section of the PROFITEROLE corpus, the Old French section is UD_OLD_FRENCH-PROFITEROLE.

Description

UD_Middle_French-PROFITEROLE includes Middle French texts that were annotated during the PROFITEROLE funded project (Projet ANR- 16-CE38-0010, 2017-2022; supervised by Sophie Prévost; https://www.lattice.cnrs.fr/projets/projets-passes/projets-anr/projet-anr-profiterole) Texts were automatically annotated with part-of-speech and dependencies (with the SRCMF corpus <srcmf.org> as a training corpus), and are currently running a process of correction. Texs will be released in UD as they are corrected. Old French texts that were annotated in the PROFITEROLE project are to be found in UD_Old_French-PROFITEROLE.

Main development happens on the GitLab of the Profiterole Project.

Introduction

UD_Middle_French-PROFITEROLE is meant to include texts spanning from the early 14th to the late 15th C. At the present it includes 3 (extracts of) texts dating from the late 14th and from the late 15th C. It includes XXX sentences and XXX tokens.

Sentences are annotated with the following metadata:

  • sent_id : a unique id for each sentence in the treebank
  • text : the sentence
  • newdoc_id : a unique id for each of the texts. This id can be split on underscores to get back :
    • name of the text
    • date
    • form : verse and/or prose

The following table lists the texts used in this treebank [A REMETTRE DANS L'ORDRE CHRONOLOGIQUE]:

ID Name of the text Author Tokens Trees
grchronj2c5_1381_prose Chroniques des règnes de Jean II et de Charles V anonymous 2710 103
Jehpar_1494_prose jehan de Paris anonymous 5893 291
Commyn_1497_prose Mémoires, Livre 1 Philippe de Commynes 3422 118
Total 12025 512

Structure

Texts with less than about 40,000 words were entirely annotated, while texts with more than 40,000 words were sampled in three parts (beginning, middle and end of the text) to reach a total amount of about 40000 words.

At the moment, UD_Middle_French-PROFITEROLE includes 3 extracts of full texts, the remainig parts of which will be released in May 2024.

The treebank is currently not split. .. as follows (in number of tokens) :

Deviations from UD

We added some more specific relations (subtypes), either to specify a relation, or in the case of tokens entering a double dependency relation (typically : relative pronouns and contracted forms) :

  • acl:relcl : relative clause
  • advmod:obl : contracted advmod + obl (e.g. sin = si + en)
  • aux:pass : passive auxiliary
  • case:det : contracted case + det (e.g. del = de + le)
  • cc:nc : non coordinating conjunction (e.g. et at the beginning of a sentence)
  • mark:advmod : mark and advmod (e.g. coment at the beginning of a subordinate clause)
  • nsubj:advmod : contracted nsubj + advmod (e.g. jon = jo + en)
  • nsubj:obj : contracted nsubj + obj (e.g. quil = qui + le)
  • obj:advmod : contracted advmod + obj (e.g. sis = si + les)
  • obj:advneg : contracted negation + obj (e.g. nes = ne + les)
  • obj:obl : contracted obl + obj (e.g. oul = ou + le)
  • obl:advmod : the double labelling accounts for the difficulty to decide between obl and advmod relations (en and i).

We added some features:

  • Morph=VFin : finite verb
  • Morph=VInf : non-finite verb
  • Morph=VPar : verbal participle

Acknowledgments

UD_Middle_French-PROFITEROLE results from the automatic annotation (PROFITEROLE project, 2017-2022) of Middle French texts (with the PROFITEROLE/SRCMF Old French corpus being used as a training corpus), which were/are then manually corrected along with the UD guidelines. The contributors to the syntactic part of the PROFITEROLE project were: Prévost, Sophie; Villemonte de la Clergerie, Eric; Regnault, Mathilde; Grobol, Loïc; Crabbé, Benoît; Dehouck, Mathieu; Lavrentiev, Alexei.

Disclaimer

Any deviations from the original annotation available on the GitLab of the Profiterole Project, especially regarding any potential errors introduiced during the process of fixing the treebank to fit UD requirements are the sole responsability of Mathieu Dehouck.
