On May 16 I’m giving a talk at the 9th Universal Dependencies workshop in Palma de Mallorca, collocated with LREC. The title of my talk is “Which languages are “hot”, and which are “cool”? Using Universal Dependencies for large-scale comparisons of subject expression”.
Universal Dependencies is a great framework that brings cross-linguistic comparability to syntactic annotation, enabling linguists to study patterns across languages in a systematic way. I’ve already been lucky to attend three UD workshops (in Gothenburg, Paris and Turin), which were a lot of fun and have resulted in three papers about UD. I’m very much looking forward to the fourth one, to catch up with colleagues and learn the latest developments and news about this exciting project.
