Status of morphosyntactic features Illustration with written and spoken French UD treebanks

Sylvain Kahane, Bruno Guillaume, Léna Brun, Simeng Song


Abstract
Morphosyntactic features used in UD treebanks have different status. If most of them correspond to values of inflectional morphemes, some describe lexical subclasses or are just conventional names of polysemic morphemes. Syncretism is also a challenge, because exact values are only deductible from contextual information. We propose an attempt at clarification and an implementation in the treebanks of written and spoken French.
