The course aims to introduce syntax in contemporary linguistic theories through syntactic resources, called ‘treebanks’ and its main NLP applications. Treebanking has been active for more than 30 years now. Trade-off between linguistic grammars and applied syntactic corpora has acquired many forms, such as: attempts to linguistic neutrality or devotion to a specific linguistic theory; underspecification or loss of information; scaling with automatic parsers, etc.
