Abstract

Abstract

In this contribution, I discuss the use of automatic syntactic annotation in Dutch corpus research, using a case study of five-verb clusters. Large amounts of text can be annotated automatically, but the parser makes mistakes, while correct annotation is very important in linguistic research. How much of a problem is this, and how can we learn about the extent of these parsing mistakes? There are several approaches to evaluating the quality of automatic annotation for specific research questions. I demonstrate these approaches for the case study at hand, which will help us to make claims based on automatically annotated corpus data with greater confidence.
