Discussion

• Bermet and Jonathan have annotated 2 sets in Kyrgyz
  • Difference: Bermet doesn't have empty tokens, Jonathan does
  • In the end, we will have to agree on 1 version of the treebank
• Kazakh may be pushed after Monday, prepared by Ali.
• UD is against tokens with spaces.
  • Discussed sentence 6 in Kyrgyz.
• We need some agreed on tests to decide if oblique or object.
  • Passivization is one basic test.
  • Balkız Hoca's syntax notes were mentioned to include these tests.
• Pronominals of locative and genitive nouns
  • We started with the example: "Büyük odadaki kitap güzel."
  • Jonathan uses 'nmod:loc' for 'kitap' -> 'odadaki'; and doesn’t want to split.
    • Büşra is of the opinion it should be split since the derivation comes after the inflection.
  • Next example: "Büyük odadakiler güzel."
  • Inner / outer number may be one solution within current UD.
  • What to do with "odalardakiler"?

Actions

• Meet next week, same time (Feb 3 19:00), same place (Zoom) to continue the discussion.
