Subcorpora typically contain 5750 sentences and almost 125K tokens. Subcorpora have dependency grammar annotation based on the Universal Dependencies standard (de Marneffe et al., 2021). mini-CIEP+ version 1.0 is available in 35 languages, with the aim of increasing the sample to 50 languages. It is shareable due to recent developments in German law, which allow researchers to share up to 15% of copy-righted material with a select group of people for their own research. Hence, mini-CIEP+ is not publically available, but is rather shareable in a modular fashion with select researchers. We additionally describe future plans for further annotation of mini-CIEP+ as well as its limitations.}, pubstate = {published}, type = {inproceedings} }
