Indiana Parsed Corpus of Historical High German

Project Description

The IPCHG is currently under development. Ultimately, it will be a syntactically parsed corpus of approx. 200 High German texts from the 11^th through 20^th centuries. As we complete annotations of the texts, you will find them on this site.
