Universal Dependencies is an open community effort to create
cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages
within a dependency-based lexicalist framework. The annotation consists
in a linguistically motivated word segmentation; a morphological layer
comprising lemmas, universal part-of-speech tags, and standardized
morphological features; and a syntactic layer focusing on syntactic
relations between predicates, arguments and modifiers. In this paper, we
describe version 2 of the universal guidelines (UD v2), discuss the
major changes from UD v1 to UD v2, and give an overview of the currently
available treebanks for 90 languages.
