Abstract


This‬‭ paper‬‭ presents‬‭ rules‬‭ for‬‭ annotating‬‭ implicit‬‭ subjects‬‭ based‬‭ on‬ five‬‭ syntactic‬‭ dependency‬‭ relations‬‭ from‬‭ the‬‭ Universal‬‭ Dependencies‬‭ (UD)‬ approach.‬‭ Two‬‭ of‬‭ these‬‭ rules‬‭ were‬‭ proposed‬‭ by‬‭ UD‬‭ and‬‭ improved‬‭ for‬ Portuguese,‬‭ and‬‭ the‬‭ other‬‭ three‬‭ were‬‭ originally‬‭ developed‬‭ for‬‭ Portuguese‬‭ and‬ ‭ can be applied to other languages with minor adaptations.
