Abstract: The UniDive COST Action has provided a framework for advancing Universal Dependencies resources for typologically diverse and under-documented languages. We report on how UniDive activities—Short-Term Scientific Missions, working group discussions, and training schools—have directly contributed to the development of the Asia Minor Greek in Contact (AMGiC) treebank, a UD resource for annotating contact-induced morphosyntactic phenomena in Asia Minor Greek varieties. The treebank currently contains 72 annotated sentences (851 tokens) covering Silliot and Cappadocian (Delmesó subdialect) Greek, with a systematic taxonomy of contact phenomena encoded in the CoNLL-U MISC field and sociodemographic metadata enabling quantitative sociolinguistic analysis.
