Abstract

This paper describes the development of the first syntactically annotated corpus of Kurmanji Kurdish. The corpus was used as one of the surprise languages in the 2017 CoNLL shared task on parsing Universal Dependencies. In the paper we describe how the corpus was prepared, some Kurmanji specific constructions that required special treatment, and we give results for parsing Kurdish using two popular data driven parsers.
