Abstract
This paper describes the development of Traditional Mongolian dependency treebank (TMDT) which aims to facilitate the dependency analysis on Traditional Mongolian. The annotation scheme of the dependency treebank is established according to Traditional Mongolian grammar and its usability in syntactic analysis. In the treebank, morphological and analytical information are annotated. At morphological level, a semi-automation strategy is adopted. Part-Of-Speech (POS) and stem of each word in the sentence are tagged and extracted respectively with automation tools, and then manually corrected. At analytical level, the dependencies in the sentence are only annotated manually according to constituent structure and the annotation scheme. This treebank formulates the foundation of dependency parsing on Traditional Mongolian and can be extended to a multi-dependency Treebank.
