Annotations using GRAID: Grammatical Relations and Animacy in Discourse (manual)

GRAID (Grammatical Relations and Animacy in Discourse) is a system of symbols and conventions for glossing the grammatical relations and overt forms (noun phrases, pronouns etc.) of major clause constituents in texts. The purpose of GRAID annotations is to facilitate cross-corpus research in language typology. This archive contains version 7.0 of the GRAID manual, orginally published in October 2014.

The GRAID system was developed on the basis of transcribed recordings from typologically diverse languages, using data that had been collected and archived in language documentation projects. It has, among others, been applied to the texts in the Multi-CAST collection of corpora (Haig & Schnell 2015).
