Eusemcor is a hand annotated corpora for Basque (the Basque Semcor). This joint development allows for better motivated sense distinctions, and a tighter coupling between both resources. Themethodology involves edition, tagging and refereeing tasks. We are currently half way through the nominal part of the 300.000 word corpus (roughly equivalent to a 500.000 word corpus for English).

First Basque corpus manually tagged at semantic level.
