Annotation of Relative Forms in the Egyptian-UJaen Treebank

Roberto A. Diaz Hernandez, Daniel Zeman


Abstract
Relative forms are a distinctive morphosyntactic feature of Earlier Egyptian. They pose a challenge when annotating them according to the Universal Dependencies approach. They are adjective finite verb forms, and therefore they have both verb and adjective properties, but they can also be used as nouns. The aim of this paper is to discuss the morphosyntactic methodology applied to their annotation in the Egyptian-UJaen treebank.
