Abstract
We explore the annotation of reflexives in Universal Dependencies (UD) 2.2 treebanks (Nivre et al., 2018), with a stronger focus on Slavic languages. We have tried to find out if the current guidelines are transparent and clear enough for the annotators to follow them successfully.
We point out a number of inconsistencies in the current annotation across languages, and propose improvements-sometimes of the guidelines, but mostly of the annotation. The goal of the paper is to contribute to more consistent and cross-linguistically parallel annotation of reflexives in the future releases of UD.
