Description:		*Introduction* Arabic Treebank: Part 1 v 3.0 (POS with full vocalization + syntactic analysis) was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 123,795 Arabic word tokens with part-of-speech (POS) and syntactic treebank annotation. The POS annotation includes the lexical category, inflectional features, a gloss, full vocalization, and case ending. The goal of the Arabic Treebank project is to support the development of data-driven approaches to natural language processing (NLP), human language technologies, automatic content extraction (topic extraction and/or grammar extraction), cross-lingual information retrieval, information detection, and general linguistic research on Modern Standard Arabic. LDC was sponsored to develop an Arabic POS and Treebank of 1 million words. The Penn Arabic Treebank, which started in November 2001 as part of the DARPA TIDES project, is particularly suitable for language developers, computational linguists, and computer scientists who are interested in various aspects of NLP. It started in the fall of 2001 with the objective of annotating a large Arabic machine-readable text corpus manually and automatically. This corpus is a re-release of part one of that project, with the addition of improved morphological/part-of-speech annotation (including full vocalization and case endings). The previous and subsequent versions of this corpus are, respectively: * Arabic Treebank: Part 1 v 2.0 (LDC2003T06) * Arabic Treebank: Part 1 v 4.1 (LDC2010T13) *Data* The following table gives a breakdown of the data contained in the entire Arabic Treebank project, with discrepancies between versions for Parts 1 and 3. The fields include source, number of stories, total number of tokens, number of tokens after clitic separation, and number of Arabic word tokens after punctuation, numbers, and latin strings have been taken out. The totals given at the bottom are calculated from the latest versions where discrepencies exist, and do not include tokens after clitic separation since that number is missing from Part 4.

For this work, annotators must be native speakers of Arabic, and they must understand enough linguistics to check morphosyntactic analysis and build syntactic structures. *Samples* For examples of the data in this corpus, please view the following samples: * Source (SGM) * POS (TXT) * Treebank (TXT) *Updates* None at this time.
