Dependency grammar

a linguistic framework that analyzes sentence structure by representing the relationships and dependencies between words using directed links, focusing on the hierarchical organization of these dependencies and the role of syntactic heads

Examples

1. So, Dependency Grammar has an enormously long history.

2. Um, so, sort of in the later parts of the first millennium, there was a ton of work by Arabic grammarians and essentially what they used is also kind of basically a Dependency Grammar.

3. So formally, when we have this kind of Dependency Grammar, we've sort of drawing these arrows and we sort of refer to the thing at this end as the head of a dependency.

4. I just want us to sort of motivate Dependency Grammar a bit more, um, formally and fully, right?
