Abstract

In this paper, we report a work in progress on transforming syntactic structures from the SynTagRus corpus into tectogrammatical trees in the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT) style. SynTagRus (Russian) and PDT (Czech) are both dependency treebanks sharing lots of common features and facing similar linguistic challenges due to the close relatedness of the two languages.

While in PDT the tectogrammatical representation exists, sentences in SynTagRus are annotated on syntactic level only.
