New Annotations --------------------- We have also made available Propbank annotations of a 40K subset of MASC that has been heavily annotated by multiple groups for many different linguistic phenomena. These are currently distributed in the original Propbank format (together with the Penn Treebank annotations on which they rely), The GrAF version of the Propbank annotations will be made available this summer.
