Estonian Copular and Existential Constructions as an UD Annotation Problem
This article is about annotating clauses with nonverbal predication in version 2 of Estonian UD treebank. Three possible annotation schemas are discussed, among which separating existential clauses from copular clauses would be theoretically most sound but would need too much manual labor and could possibly yield inconcistent annotation. Therefore, a solution has been adapted which separates ex...
متن کاملAnalysis of Coordinating Constructions in a Dependency Treebank
This paper summarizes results of automatic analysis of coordinating constructions and appositions in the Prague Dependency Treebank using a method of analysis by reduction. Experiments are performed on a large subset of the treebank. This subset is obtained as a result of a query providing a set of more than 4,300 suitable sentences and their tree structures containing coordinations and apposit...
