Syntax Annotation Fundamentals

Learn to annotate grammatical structures with dependency trees, phrase markers, and syntactic frameworks.

What is Syntax Annotation?

The systematic identification of grammatical relationships in sentences.

Syntax annotation is the process of marking grammatical structures in text, such as:

  • • Identifying subject-object relations
  • • Labeling syntactic functions
  • • Building dependency graphs
  • • Creating phrase structure trees
