Coordination Structures in Dependency Treebanks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paratactic syntactic structures are notoriously difficult to represent in dependency formalisms. This has painful consequences such as high frequency of parsing errors related to coordination. In other words, coordination is a pending problem in dependency analysis of natural languages. This paper tries to shed some light on this area by bringing a systematizing view of various formal means developed for encoding coordination structures. We introduce a novel taxonomy of such approaches and apply it to treebanks across a typologically diverse range of 26 languages. In addition, empirical observations on convertibility between selected styles of representations are shown too.

On Detecting Errors in Dependency Treebanks
Dependency relations between words are increasingly recognized as an important level of linguistic representation that is close to the data and at the same time to the semantic functor-argument structure as a target of syntactic analysis and processing. Correspondingly, dependency structures play an important role in parser evaluation and for the training and evaluation of tools based on depend...
متن کاملConverting Dependency Structures to Phrase Structures
Treebanks are of two types according to their annotation schemata: phrase-structure Treebanks such as the English Penn Treebank [8] and dependency Treebanks such as the Czech dependency Treebank [6]. Long before Treebanks were developed and widely used for natural language processing, there had been much discussion of comparison between dependency grammars and context-free phrasestructure gramm...

Treebanks is one of important and useful resource in Natural Language Processing tasks. Dependency and phrase structures are two famous kinds of treebanks. There have already made many efforts to convert dependency structure to phrase structure. In this paper we study an approach to convert dependency structure to phrase structure because of lack of a big phrase structure Treebank in Persian. A...

A treebank is a corpus with linguistic annotations above the level of the parts of speech. During the first half of the present decade, three treebanks have been developed for Persian either originally or subsequently based on dependency grammar: Persian Treebank (PerTreeBank), Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank, and Uppsala Persian Dependency Treebank (UPDT). The syntactic analysis of a sen...
متن کاملStatistical Dependency Parsing of Four Treebanks
Multilingual dependency parsing is gaining popularity in recent years for several reasons. Dependency structures are more adequate for languages with freer word order than the traditional constituency notion. There is a growing availability of dependency treebanks for new languages. Broad coverage statistical dependency parsers are available and easily portable to new languages. Dependency pars...
