Summary

UD Kʼicheʼ-IU is a treebank consisting of sentences from a variety of text domains but principally dictionary example sentences and linguistic examples.

Introduction

The treebank was pre-annotated for morphology using the apertium-quc (Richardson and Tyers, 2021). The morphological analyses were disambiguated and annotated for dependency structure by hand.
