-Syntactic annotation is done automatically, using a stochastic program ([[en:pojmy:parser|parser]]), in this case the TurboParser program. This kind of annotation has a much lower error rate than [[en:pojmy:morfologicka_analyza|morphological annotation]]. Approximately 1/[[en:pojmy:token|tokens]] are left without a correctly identified „parent“ or correctly matched syntactic function. The success rate of parent identification, i.e. UAS (unlabeled attachment score), is 88,48 %; the success rate of both parent and syntactic function identification, i.e. LAS (labeled attachment score), is 82.46%Therefore, although syntactic annotation can be used as an **approximate guide for further language research**, we must keep in mind that it is not entirely reliable. The error rate is higher for less common syntactic functions and constructions, whereas the most frequent functions in expected contexts have an error rate lower than 10%.+Syntactic annotation is done automatically, using a syntactic ([[en:pojmy:parser|parser]]). For the annotation of the SYN2015 corpus, the TurboParser was used, for SYN2020, a "neural" parser of the NeuroNLP2 tools was used. This kind of annotation has a higher error rate than [[en:pojmy:morfologicka_analyza|morphological annotation]]. In SYN2020, more than 1/[[en:pojmy:token|tokens]] are left without a correctly identified „parent“ or correctly matched syntactic function, in SYN2015, it's as much as 1/6 of [[en:pojmy:token|tokens]].\\ 
 +The success rate of parsing is measured as UAS (unlabeled attachment score), the rate of successful parent identification, and LAS (labeled attachment score), the rate of successful identification of both parent and syntactic functionIn the SYN2015 and SYN2020, these rates are as follows: 
 + 
 +^ korpus ^ UAS ^ LAS^ 
 +| SYN2015 | 88,48 % | 82,46 % 
 +| SYN2020 | 92,39 % | 88,73 % |

 +Therefore, although syntactic annotation can be used as an **approximate guide for further language research**, we must keep in mind that it is not entirely reliable. The error rate is higher for less common syntactic functions and constructions, whereas the most frequent functions in expected contexts have an error rate lower than 5% (SYN2020) or 10% (SYN2015).

 The technical root of the dependency tree (top left, with the sentence identifier) governs the predicate //převážet// (Pred) and final punctuation mark (AuxK). The predicate governs the subject //Plavidlo// (Sb) and object //turisty// (Obj). The auxiliary verb //bude// (AuxV) forms one verbal unit with the verb //převážet//, and it is therefore also depicted as being dependent on this node. Furthermore, the verb //převážet// also governs the coordinated prepositional phrase with a locative adverbial function// mezi minaretem a zříceninou Janohrad//. In PDT, on the level of surface syntax the preposition's function is to formally govern, so the verb //převážet// governs the preposition (AuxP), which in turn governs the representative of the coordinating relation, the conjunction //a// (Coord). Both coordinated nouns from the prepositional phrase //minaretem a zříceninou// are dependent on the coordination node (Adv_Co: Adv, i.e. adverbial function, is furnished with an additional component _Co, which indicates coordinated members). The noun //zříceninou// is further modified by the incongruent attribute //Janohrad// (Atr). The coordinating node (Coord) also governs the prepositional phrase //v parku//, which itself is not coordinated, but modifies both members of the coordination, i.e. both the word //minaretem// and the word //zříceninou//. Again, the preposition //v// (AuxP) is dependent on the governing member, and the noun //parku// with the attributive function (Atr) is in turn dependent on the preposition. The technical root of the dependency tree (top left, with the sentence identifier) governs the predicate //převážet// (Pred) and final punctuation mark (AuxK).

 +===== Visualisation of syntactic structures in KonText =====
 +
 +For every sentence in a syntactically annotated corpus (currently [[en:cnk:syn2015|SYN2015]] and [[en:cnk:syn2020|SYN2020]]), a syntactic structure can be visualised by clicking on a little icon representing a syntactic tree on the left side of a concordance line (marked with a red circle in the following image):\\
 +
 +{{:pojmy:zobrazenisyntaxe.png?500|Syntactic structure visualisation}}\\
 +
 +By clicking on the icon, a representation of the syntactic structure is displayed (a syntactic tree). The left-to-right order in the syntactic representation corresponds to the order in the sentence, the dependent tokens are placed below the governing tokens. The following image represents the structure of a subordinate clause from the SYN2020 corpus "//aby ses měla nač vymluvit//" [so that you can find an excuse]. The sentence contains three so called [[en:cnk:syn2020:agregat|agreggates]], i.e. tokens containing two or more syntactic words:\\

-Searching in syntactically annotated corpora typically requires an interface specially designed to display the syntactic structure, for example the program [[https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/tred/|TrEd]]. The [[en:manualy:kontext|KonText]] interface does not offer the option of viewing the syntactic structure, nonetheless it is possible to search for words and phrases according to syntactic parameters. For this purpose, each token is assigned several [[en:pojmy:atributy_pozicni|attributes]], in addition to the smaller number of attributes which are assigned only to selected tokens. All syntactic attributes are described in a [[en:seznamy:syntakticke_znacky|separate entry]].

For this purpose, each token is assigned several [[en:pojmy:atributy_pozicni|attributes]]. All syntactic attributes are described in a [[en:seznamy:syntakticke_znacky|separate entry]]. The basic syntactic attributes assigned to all tokens are: 
   * [[en:seznamy:parent|parent]] (numbered reference to the position of the governing token)    * [[en:seznamy:parent|parent]] (numbered reference to the position of the governing token) 
   * [[en:seznamy:afun|afun]] (syntactic function)   * [[en:seznamy:afun|afun]] (syntactic function)
