Universal Dependencies v2: An Evergrowing Multilingual Treebank Collection

What it is about

The paper describes the UD v2 guidelines and the state of the collection at release 2.5: 157 treebanks in 90 languages, built by more than 300 contributors. Compared with v1, it changes several things. CONJ becomes CCONJ, AUX covers copulas and TAME particles, OBL and NMOD are separated by whether the dependent is a clause-level or a nominal dependent, passive subjects and auxiliaries are folded into NSUBJ and AUX with :PASS subtypes, coordinating conjunctions and punctuation attach to the following conjunct, gapping is analysed with ORPHAN, and multiword expressions are split into FIXED, FLAT and COMPOUND. The enhanced layer is described with five enhancement types, but only 24 treebanks had it at v2.5. The morphological feature set was extended and aligned with UniMorph.

Ideas

For Mova

The paper is the reference for the 37 relations and the feature inventory that the registry gate checks. The ideas touch 20. Syntax: the Universal Dependencies frame, 22-phrases.md (multiword expressions), 24-coordination-subordination.md and 13-verbs.md (auxiliary and copula use).
