Introduction to the special issue on dependency grammar for linguistic typology
This special issue examines the use of dependency-annotated corpora across different languages for quantitative typological research. The contributions explore how large-scale resources enable new analyses of morphological and syntactic complexity, word order variation, language contact, and language evolution, as well as challenges in the annotation of specific phenomena. Together, these contributions demonstrate the potential of dependency gram…
Early Vedic compounds
Despite a longstanding tradition of studies in Sanskrit compounds, a description that enables comparisons in cross-linguistic perspective has not yet been worked out. The present article follows classificatory criteria introduced by Bisetto & Scalise ( 2005 , 2009 ) and sketches a typology of compounds in the most archaic variety of Sanskrit, Early Vedic, as transmitted by the RigVeda . Analyzing compounds on the basis of the grammatical relation…
A Constructionist and Corpus-Based Approach to Formulas in Old English Poetry
This paper explores a constructionist and corpus-based approach to Old English formulaic language through an analysis of the "maþelode system" of speech introductions. The analysis is performed on a section of the York-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Poetry, comprising the poems Beowulf, Battle of Brunanburh, and Exodus. The results show that most instances of the maþelode system belong to a well-attested construction continuum, structured …
Reconstructing variation in Indo-European word order
Word order is a central issue in the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European syntax. Categorical approaches have proved to be inadequate because they postulate for the protolanguage a typological consistency which is absent in any of the attested daughter languages. Following recent research, we adopt a gradient approach to word order, which treats word order preferences as a continuous variable. We analyze four word order patterns based on data ex…
Evaluating Syntactic Annotation of Ancient Languages
In this paper we introduce an extended version of the Vedic Treebank ( vtb , Hellwig et al. 2020) which comes along with revisited and extended annotation guidelines. In order to assess the quality of our annotations as well as the usability and limits of the guidelines we performed an inter-annotator agreement test. The results show that agreement between annotators is hampered by various factors, most prominently by insufficient understanding o…
