Zatiak performs shallow syntactic analysis of a sentence. This program reads an input text and, after morphological processing, identifies pieces of text (chunks). Each chunk is marked with its type: nominal phrase (NP or PP) or verb chain, together with its associated information: grammatical case, number, definiteness and syntactic functions, among others.

Chunking for Basque. There is a web service.

Modules for entities (Eihera) and postpositions are included. Eustagger is a previous step.

It is the first chunker for Basque.

Different projects funded by the Basque government and the Spanish R&D agency.
