DESCRIPTION:Universal Dependencies is a framework for cross-linguistically
  consistent treebank annotation that has so far been applied to over 50 la
 nguages. It was developed primarily to support multilingual parsing resear
 ch\, but the resources have proven useful for a wide range of studies that
  were not foreseen originally\, including research on language typology. I
 n this talk\, I will give a general introduction to Universal Dependencies
  and the resources developed in the project\, and survey a number of repre
 sentative examples of how the resources\nhave been put to use in different
  scientific investigations. I will conclude with some reflections on how U
 niversal Dependencies relate to linguistic theory\, on the one hand\, and 
 parsing technology\, on the other.
