This page pertains to UD version 2.

Introduction

The Uralic dependencies documentation serves for two purposes:

  1. It’s a collective documentation looking at differences of Uralic languages with examples and hopefully statistics
  2. It’s an additive to Universal documentations telling specific recommendations and extensions that should be taken into consideration when reading applying UD to a Uralic language; e.g. many Uralic language grammars will not talk about determiners, we give recommendations on what to annotate as DET.

This project is a first attempt to co-ordinate unity within a language group annotation principles and document common best practices. The project is maintained by ACL SIG for Uralic Languages.

Treebanks

Uralic morphological and syntactic analysers

There’s a solid history within uralistic computational linguistics towards rule-based parsing. It should be noted that many of the traditional parsers can be relatively easily mapped to Universal Dependencies scheme. See for example North Sámi or Karelian for Universal Dependencies treebanks that have been build in this manner.
