Introduction
The Basque UD treebank is based on a conversion from part of the Basque Dependency Treebank (BDT), created at the University of of the Basque Country by the IXA NLP research group. The treebank consists of 8,993 sentences (121,443 tokens) and covers mainly literary and journalistic texts.
The morphological and syntactic annotation of the Basque UD treebank is created through an automatic conversion of BDT data (Aduriz et al. 2003, Aranzabe et al. 2015).
