Coordination Structures in Dependency Treebanks

What it is about

A dependency tree cannot show the symmetric relation between conjuncts without a convention, so every treebank picks one. The paper surveys these conventions: which node heads the coordination (the first conjunct, the conjunction, or a chain of conjuncts), how shared modifiers attach, and how labels mark conjunct roles. It proposes a taxonomy of the encodings and applies it to treebanks in 26 languages. It also reports empirical observations on how far one style can be converted into another. The authors do not decide which style parses best, but they note that coordination is among the most frequent sources of parsing errors.

Ideas

For Mova

Touches 24. Coordination and subordination. The en parser and gparse both read the coordination style directly, so a style mix in the silver corpus would show as parser error on conj. Measure first the share of conj and cc errors on EWT test (I2), since it needs no training run.
