Publications, tools and derived resources

This is a short list of all the works based or derived from the French Treebank. If you happen to find a work not listed here, please send us a message.

The French Treebank is constituency based. A dependency based version has been automaticaly derived from it (Candito et al. 2009 ; 2010). A categorial grammar version has been derived by Moot 2015.
