DerIvaTario: An annotated lexicon of Italian derivatives

We propose an annotation schema for derivational morphology featuring morphological, morphotactic and morphosemantic information concerning the base of the derivative as well as each derivational cycle. This schema was employed in the manual annotation of about 11,000 Italian derivatives, extracted from the CoLFIS corpus. The outcome is DerIvaTario, an annotated lexicon of Italian derivatives. The inter-annotator agreement was assessed over several variables of the annotation schema. DerIvaTario is available as an interactive database to be used for theoretical morphology and psycholinguistic research, and as a resource for automatic tagging of large Italian corpora.
