Abstract
The languages that are most commonly subject to linguistic annotation on a large scale tend to be those with the largest populations or with recent histories of linguistic scholarship. In this paper we discuss the problems associated with lowerdensity languages in the context of the development of linguistically annotated resources. We frame our work with three key questions regarding the definition of lower-density languages; increasing available resources and reducing data requirements. A number of steps forward are identified for increasing the number lowerdensity language corpora with linguistic annotations. 1
