The Diachronic Annotated Corpus of Newar

Abstract This article presents the first Diachronic Annotated Corpus of Newar ( DACON ), an ongoing project to annotate Newar texts ranging from the 12th to the 19th centuries. The primary purpose of this corpus is to facilitate both synchronic and diachronic as well as comparative linguistic research. We also present our annotation pipeline with detailed information on our workflow and the results of the automatic segmentation and POS -tagging tools.
