Annotation of Relative Forms in the Egyptian-UJaen Treebank

Roberto Antonio Díaz Hernández, Daniel Zeman


Abstract
Relative forms are adjective finite verb forms that can be used in an attributive or a nominal function. They pose a challenge when annotating them according to the Universal Dependencies approach, for they have morphological features of both verbs and adjectives, yet they can also be used syntactically as nouns. The aim of this paper is to discuss the morphosyntactic methodology applied to their annotation in the Egyptian-UJaen treebank.
