VIT – Venice Italian Treebank: Syntactic and Quantitative Features

In this paper we will describe VIT (Venice Italian Treebank), created at the University of Venice. We will focus on the syntactic-semantic features and on the quantitative analysis of the data of our treebank comparing them to other treebanks. In general, we will try to substantiate the claim that treebanking grammars or parsers is dramatically dependent on the chosen treebank; and eventually this process seems to be dependent either from substantial factors such as the adopted linguistic framework for structural description or, ultimately, the described language
