Quantitative Analysis of Syntactic Dependency in Czech
-
Radek Čech
Abstract
The article presents a quantitative analysis of some syntactic dependency properties in Czech. A dependency frame is introduced as a linguistic unit and its characteristics are investigated. In particular, a ranked frequencies of dependency frames are observed and modelled and a relationship between particular syntactic functions and the number of dependency frames is examined. For the analysis, the Czech Universal Dependency Treebank is used.
