Abstract:

The article presents a quantitative analysis of some syntactic dependency
properties in Czech. A dependency frame is introduced as a linguistic unit
and its characteristics are investigated. In particular, a ranked frequencies of
dependency frames are observed and modelled and a relationship between
particular syntactic functions and the number of dependency frames is examined.
For the analysis, the Czech Universal Dependency Treebank is used.
