A Universal Feature Schema for Rich Morphological Annotation and Fine-Grained Cross-Lingual Part-of-Speech Tagging
TL;DR: A universal morphological feature schema is presented, which is a set of features that represent the finest distinctions in meaning that are expressed by inflectional morphology across languages, and is used to assess the effectiveness of cross-linguistic projection of a multilingual consensus of these fine-grained morphological features.
