Morphology

As described in Introduction, the parts-of-speech of Japanese are defined as a mapping from UniDic POS tags, because the UniDic guideline is fully established and widely used in Japanese NLP.

The following table defines a mapping from UniDic SUW POS tags into Universal Dependencies POS tags (this table is not finalized yet; any suggestions are welcome).

ADV副詞(adverb)

Several UniDic POS tags are mapped into different UD POS tags depending on additional information like lemmas, and/or syntactic context.

Currently, we do not use features in Japanese.
