Description:		*Introduction* BOLT English PropBank and Sense -- Discussion Forum, SMS/Chat, and Conversational Telephone Speech was developed by the University of Colorado Boulder - CLEAR (Computational Language and Education Research) and consists of propbank and verb sense disambiguation annotation on English discussion forum (DF), SMS/Chat and conversational telephone speech (CTS) data. The DARPA BOLT (Broad Operational Language Translation) program developed machine translation and information retrieval for less formal genres, focusing particularly on user-generated content. LDC supported the BOLT program by collecting informal data sources -- discussion forums, text messaging and chat -- in Chinese, Egyptian Arabic and English. The collected data was translated and annotated for various tasks including word alignment, treebanking, propbanking and co-reference. *Data* DF data was collected from the web using a combination of manual and automatic processes. SMS/Chat material was donated or collected via live platforms. CTS data was taken from LDC's Arabic and Chinese CALLHOME and CALLFRIEND telephone collections; the audio files were transcribed and translated into English. Propbank annotation and verb sense disambiguation were applied to BOLT phrase structure treebank annotation, specifically, to each predicate verb in a tree. Propbank annotation provided a layer of semantic annotation over treebank and was performed on all three genres. DF and SMS/Chat data was also annotated for verb sense disambiguation using Verbnet 3.2 classes. Annotation files are presented as UTF-8 encoded and are in either plain text or XML formats. *Sponsorship* This material is based upon work supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under Contract No. HR0011-11-C-0145.
