  abstract  = {Universal Dependencies is an initiative to develop cross-linguistically
	consistent grammatical annotation for many languages, with the goal of
	facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning and
	parsing research from a language typology perspective. It assumes a
	dependency-based approach to syntax and a lexicalist approach to morphology,
	which together entail that the fundamental units of grammatical annotation are
	words. Words have properties captured by morphological annotation and enter
	into relations captured by syntactic annotation. Moreover, priority is given to
	relations between lexical content words, as opposed to grammatical function
	words. In this position paper, I discuss how this approach allows us to capture
	similarities and differences across typologically diverse languages.},
