TL;DR

An annotation scheme and a tool developed for creating linguistically annotated corpora for non-configurational languages that reflects a stratificational notion of language, and makes only minimal assumptions about the interrelation of the particular representational strata.

Abstract

We describe an annotation scheme and a tool developed for creating linguistically annotated corpora for non-configurational languages. Since the requirements for such a formalism differ from those posited for configurational languages, several features have been added, influencing the architecture of the scheme. The resulting scheme reflects a stratificational notion of language, and makes only minimal assumptions about the interrelation of the particular representational strata.
