• Open-Class Word List (3,000 word forms)
• Corpus NC-A1
  • Original corpus: 5-10 original articles from the Wikipedia about culture-specific subjects (minimum of 5,000 words), in separate files, in plain text format with UTF-8 encoding
  • List of at least 1,000 noun phrases appearing in the corpus with the following characteristics:
    • the length of the NP must be equal or greater than 2 words (one-word NP's must be excluded): Geneva
    • NP's must not contain foreign words: the city of Genève (note that "the city of Geneva" is OK)
    • NP's must be continuous (there cannot be any extra-content, e.g., parentheses, inside the NP): the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zurich) (note that the NP will be "the second most populous city in Switzerland")
    • NP's must not contain verbs, even when used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs: French-speaking part of Switzerland, numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross (in the latter case, there will be 2 NP's: "numerous international organizations" and "the headquarters... Red Cross")
    • NP's must be original (no change should be made to the original text from the Wikipedia)
    • NP's must ignore nesting (only the longest NP must be considered): "the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross" must be treated as a single NP (the inner NP's, such as "the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross" must not be extracted from the longer NP)
    • NP's must be unique (repetitions must be ignored)
    • NP's must be provided one per line in a plain text file, with UTF-8 encoding.

The completion of the post-workshop tasks is not mandatory but any intermediate-level workshop will only accept candidates having finished all A1 activities described in FoR-UNL.

FOLLOW-UP

The following projects will be open upon the accomplishment of the post-workshop tasks

• BRUNO-A1 (open only for languages where number of subcategorization frames (all languages) > 15 and number of paradigms (inflectional languages) > 15): 2,000 entries (around 4,000 UNLdots)
• NC-A1: 1,000 entries (3,000 UNLdots)
