Coconstructions in spoken data: UD annotation guidelines and first results

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2603.28261v1 Announce Type: new The paper proposes annotation guidelines for syntactic dependencies that span across speaker turns - including collaborative coconstructions proper, wh-question answers, and backchannels - in spoken language treebanks within the Universal Dependencies framework. Two representations are proposed: a speaker-based representation following the segmentation into speech turns, and a dependency-based representation with dependencies across speech turns.
