Abstract
The parataxis relation as defined for Universal Dependencies 2.0 is general and, for this reason, sometimes hard to distinguish from competing analyses, such as coordination, conj, or apposition, appos. The specific subtypes that are listed for parataxis are also quite different in character. In this study we first show that the actual practice by UD-annotators is varied, using the parallel UD (PUD-) treebanks as data. We then review the current definitions and guidelines and suggest improvements.
