Old Tibetan Corpus and Normalization Grammar

This resource includes two tagged and annotated Tibetan texts: the Old Tibetan Annals and the Old Tibetan Chronicle.

The texts were first normalized using the included CG3 grammar, to make them look and behave like Classical Tibetan. They were then part-of-speech tagged by machine. However, these machine tags were individually checked by hand, so we can say both texts have been manually part-of-speech tagged.

In the second stage, verb-argument dependency relations were manually added to the text.

A digital version of Brandon Dotson's translation of the _Old Tibetan Annals_ was obtained, and aligned to the Tibetan text in the third stage of work.

In the final stage, the text was denormalized back to Old Tibetan orthrography, so that the CoNLL-U files reflect the original OT source data.
