Universal Derivations v1.0

Publication

Abstract

Universal Derivations (UDer) is a collection of harmonized lexical networks capturing word-formation, especially derivational relations, in a cross-linguistically consistent annotation scheme for many languages. The annotation scheme is based on a rooted tree data structure, in which nodes correspond to lexemes, while edges represent derivational relations or compounding.

The current version of the UDer collection contains twenty-seven harmonized resources covering twenty different languages.
