We present HamleDT – a HArmonized Multi-LanguagE Dependency Treebank. HamleDT is a compilation of existing dependency treebanks (or dependency conversions of other treebanks), transformed so that they all conform to the same annotation style. In the present article, we provide a thorough investigation and discussion of a number of phenomena that are comparable across languages, though their ann...

We present a two-stage multilingual dependency parser and evaluate it on 13 diverse languages. The first stage is based on the unlabeled dependency parsing models described by McDonald and Pereira (2006) augmented with morphological features for a subset of the languages. The second stage takes the output from the first and labels all the edges in the dependency graph with appropriate syntactic...

We present a syntactic parser of (transcripts of) spoken Hebrew: a dependency parser of the Hebrew CHILDES database. CHILDES is a corpus of child–adult linguistic interactions. Its Hebrew section has recently been morphologically analyzed and disambiguated, paving the way for syntactic annotation. This paper describes a novel annotation scheme of dependency relations reflecting constructions of...

Prosody and syntax are significantly related with each other as has often been observed. In the field of speech synthesis, many efforts have been made to control prosody so that it reflects the syntactic structure of the sentence. However, the inverse problem, recovery of syntactic structure using prosodic information, has not been so much investigated. This paper focuses on syntactic informati...

Syntactic parsing of web queries is important for query understanding. However, web queries usually do not observe the grammar of a written language, and no labeled syntactic trees for web queries are available. In this paper, we focus on a query’s clicked sentence, i.e., a well-formed sentence that i) contains all the tokens of the query, and ii) appears in the query’s top clicked web pages. W...

This paper is concerned with measuring the amount of syntactic information contained in prosodic features of read Japanese sentences. Five prosodic features were chosen, and statistical relation between those features and interphrase dependency distance was estimated from a speech database. Then a number of experiments on dependency analysis of Japanese sentences were conducted with the minimum...

This article presents the methods, results, and precision of the syntactic annotation process of the Rhapsodie Treebank of spoken French. The Rhapsodie Treebank is an 33,000 word corpus annotated for prosody and syntax, licensed in its entirety under Creative Commons. The syntactic annotation contains two levels: a macro-syntactic level, containing a segmentation into illocutionary units (inclu...

With the advent of pre-trained language models, many natural processing tasks in various languages have achieved great success. Although some research has been conducted on fine-tuning BERT-based models for syntactic parsing, and several Arabic developed, no attention paid to dependency parsing. In this study, we attempt fill gap compare nine strategies, encoding methods We evaluated three tree...
