Using Modern Languages to Parse Ancient Ones: a Test on Old English
Luca Brigada Villa | Martina Giarda
Proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP

In this paper we test the parsing performances of a multilingual parser on Old English data using different sets of languages, alone and combined with the target language, to train the models. We compare the results obtained by the models and we analyze more in deep the annotation of some peculiar syntactic constructions of the target language, providing plausible linguistic explanations of the errors made even by the best performing models.
