This manual presents a short description of sentence representation on the tectogrammatical level in the Prague English Dependency Treebank (PEDT), which is the English counterpart of the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank. It is based on the abbreviated version of the annotation manual for the Czech corpus Prague Dependency Treebank (hence "PDT manual") and on a preliminary manual for English tectogrammatical annotation (TR-2004-21), which was only available in Czech and has been significantly revised and extended since 2004. This manual seeks to keep the structure of the original PDT manual to the highest possible degree and we are going to complete the missing topics as soon as their annotation has been launched. So far, the annotation of PEDT has been concerned with the tree structure and with functor assignment as well as with creating the valency lexicon of verbs.

As the tectogrammatical annotation of PEDT is still at its initial stage, not all issues described by the PDT annotation manual could be adopted (e.g. Topic-Focus Articulation, Coreference, Grammatemes etc.). The current manual mentions them but does actually neither define nor explain them. Readers willing to get consistent information on these issues are kindly requested to consult the annotation manual for Czech. The next version of this manual is supposed to cover the complete range of FGD-related topics.On the other hand, a chapter dealing with issues specific to the annotation of English data has been added.

The chapters are organized in a way parallel to the way of sentence representation on the tectogrammatical level. In Chapter 1, Relation between the tectogrammatical level and the lower levels, the relations between the tectogrammatical nodes and units of the lower levels are described. The following chapter, Chapter 2, Node types, divides the tectogrammatical nodes into different types. The next chapter, Chapter 3, Tectogrammatical lemma (t-lemma), is devoted to the attributes specifying the lexical unit (represented by a node). A description of the sentence structure follows (Chapter 4, Sentence representation structure). Chapter 5, Specific phenomena contains a description of certain specific phenomena. A separate chapter is devoted to the functors and sub-functors (Chapter 6, Functors and subfunctors).
