Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).
Studying syntactic patterns in naturally occurring language requires a large parsed corpus, but manual annotation is costly and difficult to scale. Thai has a manually annotated dependency treebank for training and evaluating parsers, but lacks a large automatically parsed corpus for quantitative syntactic research. We present ThaiTrees, a 342M-token corpus drawn from news, Wikipedia, spoken transcripts, and social media. We develop a reproducible pipeline for cleaning, processing, and parsing Thai text under the Universal Dependencies framework. The resulting corpus makes grammatical relations searchable and supports the study of syntactic distributions. We release a frequency lexicon and CoNLL-U parses in machine-readable formats suitable for both AI-assisted and conventional programmatic analysis.
