1. Introduction

+

This is the FraCaS Treebank, developed and maintained by +the Centre for Language Technolgy at University of Gothenburg:

+
+http://www.clt.gu.se/
+

The treebank is part of the CLT Toolkit, a set of state-of-the-art +open source Language Technology tools and accompanying linguistic +resources. The different parts of the toolkit, including the +FraCaS Treebank, can be downloaded from:

+
+http://www.clt.gu.se/clt-toolkit
+

The treebank is built upon the FraCaS textual inference problem set, +which was built in the mid 1990’s by the FraCaS project, a large +collaboration aimed at developing resources and theories for +computational semantics. This test set was later modified and +converted to XML by Bill MacCartney:

+
+http://www-nlp.stanford.edu/~wcmac/downloads/fracas.xml
+

It is this modified version that has been used in this treebank. +The corpus consists of 346 problems each containing one or more +statements and one yes/no-question (except for four problems, where +there is no question). The total number of sentences in the corpus is +1220, but since some of them are repeated in several problems, there +are in total 874 unique sentences.

+
+
+

2. Description

+

The treebank is created in Grammatical Framework (GF), using its +multilingual Resource Grammar as backend grammar. Currently the +treebank is bilingual, with an English and a Swedish lexicon.

+

More information about GF, including installation instructions, +can be found at:

+
+http://www.grammaticalframework.org/
+

The treebank is also distributed in XML and Prolog formats, +for people that have no interest in learning GF. Note however +that the syntactical constructions come from the GF resource grammar.

+
+
+

3. Download and installation

+

The full distribution can be downloaded from +dist/FraCaSBank-0.2.zip.

+

The Prolog and XML treebanks are already generated, so to use these +you don't need anything else. But if you want to work with the GF +source files, you need a GF installation including the Resource Grammar.
