UniCoDeX (Universal Construction Dependency Xrammar)

Other conference contribution, 2023

This is a summary of the discussions that took place in Working Group 7 during the Dagstuhl Seminar 23191 Universals of Linguistic Idiosyncrasy in Multilingual Computational Linguistics.
WG7 was formed from the initial working groups 2 (Annotation of particular kinds of constructions) and 4 (Finding idiosyncrasy in corpora), who independently of each other realised that they wanted a group that was focused on the relation between Construction Grammar and Universal Dependencies. So for the second half of the seminar we formed WG7 with the initial name “CxG meets UD”, but we changed the name of the group to the
more catchy UniCoDeX (Universal Construction Dependency Xrammar).
The group met for four sessions and had intense discussions which resulted in the formation of three interconnected tasks. This document tries to reflect the results of our discussions and the way forward.
