A grammar-book treebank of Turkish

This paper introduces a new Turkish dependency treebank following the Universal Dependencies annotation scheme. The treebank is built on example sentences from a grammar book, which cover a wide range of the linguistic constructions. Thus, the resulting treebank is a valuable resource for theoretical (linguistic) research as well as testing computational tools for the coverage of the constructions found in the language. This version differs from the published version slightly. Besides potential differences in typesetting, a dependency label in Fig. 3b is corrected.
