Abstract
The Stanford typed dependency model [7] constitutes a universal schema of grammatical relationships for dependency parsing. However, it was based on English data and did not provide descriptions for grammatical features that are fundamental in other language types. This paper addresses the problem of applying the Stanford typed dependency model for Slavic languages. Language features specific to Slavic languages that are presented and described include ellipsis, different types of predicates, genitive constructions, direct vs. indirect objects, reflexive pronouns and determiners. In order to maintain cross-language consistency we try to avoid major changes in the original Stanford model, and rather devise new applications of the existing relation types.
