A Treebank / Test Suite for Polish

The objective of this project, part of a larger CRIT-2 project financed by the European Union, was to create a treebank of syntactic structures of Polish sentences using HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar) for encoding such structures. Such an HPSG-encoded bank of syntactic structures, or treebank, provides sound linguistic grounds for the evaluation and improvement of formal and computational grammars of Polish, i.e., it can be utilized as a test suite.
