## Introduction

This release contains the following [Treebank-2](http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC95T7) Material:

-   One million words of 1989 Wall Street Journal material annotated in Treebank II style.
-   A small sample of ATIS-3 material annotated in Treebank II style.
-   A fully tagged version of the Brown Corpus.

and the following new material:

-   Switchboard tagged, dysfluency-annotated, and parsed text
-   Brown parsed text

The Treebank bracketing style is designed to allow the extraction of simple predicate/argument structure. Over one million words of text are provided with this bracketing applied.

## Data

The Penn Treebank (PTB) project selected 2,499 stories from a three year Wall Street Journal (WSJ) collection of 98,732 stories for syntactic annotation. These 2,499 stories have been distributed in both Treebank-2 ([LDC95T7](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC95T7)) and Treebank-3 ([LDC99T42](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC99T42)) releases of PTB. Treebank-2 includes the raw text for each story. Three "map" files are available in a compressed file (pennTB\_tipster\_wsj\_map.tar.gz) as an additional download for users who have licensed Treebank-2 and provide the relation between the 2,499 PTB filenames and the corresponding WSJ DOCNO strings in TIPSTER.
