Ease of dependency distance minimization in star-like structures

ArXi:2604.28034v1 Announce Type: new The syntactic structure of a sentence can be represented as a tree where edges indicate syntactic dependencies between words. When that structure is a star, it has been nstrated that the head should be placed in the middle of the linear arrangement according to the principle of syntactic dependency distance minimization. However, hubs of stars tend to be put at one of the ends, against that principle.
