Constructions and Strategies in Universal Dependencies

Joakim Nivre


Abstract
Is the framework of Universal Dependencies (UD) compatible with findings from linguistic typology? One way to find out is to investigate whether UD can adequately represent constructions of the world’s languages, as described in William Croft’s recent book Morphosyntax. This paper discusses how such an investigation could be carried out and why it would be useful.
