  This annotation style guide was created by and for the Blinker project at the
University of Pennsylvania. The Blinker project was so named after the
``bilingual linker'' GUI, which was created to enable bilingual annotators to
``link'' word tokens that are mutual translations in parallel texts. The
parallel text chosen for this project was the Bible, because it is probably the
easiest text to obtain in electronic form in multiple languages. The languages
involved were English and French, because, of the languages with which the
project co-ordinator was familiar, these were the two for which a sufficient
number of annotators was likely to be found.
