  • Treebanks allow for multiple uses: by linguists, which may search for examples (or counter-examples) for a given theory or hypothesis; by psycholinguists, interested in computing construction frequencies and comparing them with human preferences; by computational linguists, for tasks such as lexicon and grammar induction or parser evaluation. Treebanks can also be explored to determine the typology of factors playing a role in specific natural language learning and processing tasks as well as their relative salience. In all cases, the results of Treebank mining are heavily influenced by the design principles underlying the adopted annotation scheme. For Treebanks to be successfully exploited for these many-fold uses, the design of the annotation scheme should fit a list of basic requirements ranging from usability in both real applications and for research purposes, compatibility with different approaches to syntax (either adopted in theoretical or applicative frameworks) to applicability on a wide scale, in a coherent and replicable way, and to different language varieties (e.g. both written and spoken language). The presentation will focus on methodological issues connected with the design, construction and use of an Italian dependency Treebank, originating from the functional annotation layer of ISST, a multi-layered annotated corpus of Italian representing one of the main outcomes of an Italian national project (SI-TAL, 1999-2001), which underwent different revisions aimed at making it compliant to the de-facto CoNLL representation standard and at meeting the basic annotation requirements mentioned above. The Italian dependency Treebank, in its different versions, has been exploited for different purposes, ranging from the induction of subcategorization frames, the discovery and assessment of typologically relevant and linguistically motivated grammatical constraints, to the training of dependency parsers as well as their evaluation in the framework of internati (literal)
