Classical Syriac Genitive Constructions

The data is sourced from the 92-page historical manuscript, The Chronicle of Joshua the Stylite [5th c. A.D] (Wright, 1882). A total of 116 tokens are included, collected via a method of random sampling.

Each token corresponds to a full genitive construction: appositional (including compound nominals), periphrastic or double. Each token is transcribed in Syriac, transliterated, translated and glossed for word-class, noun features and genitive type.

The dataset is not quality-checked; manuscript source pages for each token is provided to facilitate ease of validatation.
