<abstract>This paper explores the potential of Enhanced and Extended Enhanced Universal Dependencies for narrative analysis in Brazilian Portuguese, focusing on how enhanced dependency relations contribute to clause linkage. The study examines narrative sentences annotated in CoNLL-U format and compares basic and enhanced dependency layers. The results show that enhanced dependencies are particularly useful for recovering implicit subject relations in Portuguese and for enriching clause relations through information from prepositions and conjunctions. These enhancements enable a more explicit representation of participant continuity and event relations in narratives, supporting the transition from syntactic dependency analysis to richer semantic annotation.</abstract>
