Abstract
This paper presents the first proper syntactic treebank for Akkadian, an ancient Semitic language which can only be reconstructed from its textual data. We introduce our corpus of early Neo-Assyrian royal inscriptions, present some typical syntactic constructions of this genre and dis-cuss the morphological and syntactic choices we have made. For developing a gold standard for morphological annotations, we tested the manually annotated material against BabyFST, a mor-phological analyzer of Akkadian. We also tested the reproducibility of the syntactic annotations using the TurkuNLP neural parser.
