Abstract
The present paper describes an approach to adapting a parser to a new language. Presumably the target language is much poorer in linguistic resources than the source language.
The technique has been tested on two European languages due to test data availability; however, it is easily applicable to any pair of related languages, including some of the Indic language group. Within our experimental setting, we were able to reduce the error rate by 34 %.
