Modeling Syntax of Free Word-Order Languages: Dependency Analysis by Reduction

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |
2005

Abstract

This paper explains the principles of dependency analysis by reduction and its correspondence to the notions of dependency and dependency tree. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Czech, a language with a relatively high degree of word-order freedom.

The paper sums up the basic features of methods of dependency syntax. The method serves as a basis for the verification (and explanation) of the adequacy of formal andcomputational models of those methods.
