Contribution of Linguistic Typology to Universal Dependency Parsing: An Empirical Investigation
Abstract: Universal Dependencies (UD) is a global initiative to create a standard annotation for the dependency syntax of human languages.
Addressing its deviation from typological principles, this study presents an empirical investigation of a typologically motivated transformation of UD proposed by William Croft. Our findings underscore the significance of the transformations across diverse languages and highlight their advantages and limitations.
