The Mercurius Treebank is a syntactically annotated corpus using a modification of the hybrid TIGER annotation scheme, which combines dependency and constituency information. The annotation scheme was accommodated to the needs of a historical corpus. So far, the MERCURIUS treebank comprises two early newspapers. i.e. the 'Mercurius' of 1667 and the 'Annus Christi' published in 1597, with a total of 170.000 tokens and 8.500 syntactically annotated sentences.

The present corpus has been compiled in 2003 to 2005 as a pilot to a much larger project aiming at the establishment of a syntactically annotated reference corpus for the period of Early New High German (1350-1650) as a whole

Annotation:
@nnotate has been used as a tool merging parsing and manual annotation: Suggestions provided by the parser may be rejected by the human annotator. The annotation has been carried out by using the double keying method.
