Varför, miksi, why?
• There is no Treebank of Finnish at present
• … and it is a shame, so
• The Language Bank wants to bring about its creation
– Infrastructure programme by the Academy of Finland in 2004
– The plan is to use Finnish Dependency Grammar by Connexor
• Without query and analysis tools the treebank is just a large heap
of files
– We need information on tools and technology in order to create
a nice service for linguists and language technology
professionals
