Cross-Language Transfer Of Syntactic Relations Using Parallel Corpora

The data that we present in this paper are only some preliminary results of an experiment that we are carrying out in order to test the feasibility of the automatic cross-lingual transfer of syntactic relations using parallel corpora annotated at the morphological and syntactic level. The aim of our experiment is to test whether it is possible (and also to what degree) to automatically transfer syntactic relations (as they are lexicalized in a corpus) from a resource-rich language into another language with fewer resources, using parallel corpora.
