   - Based on the paper, what properties do you think that a representation of a sentence in SD has (if you think about it as a graph)? \\ (This is actually discussed in detail in [[http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/dependencies_manual.pdf|Stanford typed dependencies manual]], but I wanted you to try to guess the properties based on what you had read.)   - Based on the paper, what properties do you think that a representation of a sentence in SD has (if you think about it as a graph)? \\ (This is actually discussed in detail in [[http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/dependencies_manual.pdf|Stanford typed dependencies manual]], but I wanted you to try to guess the properties based on what you had read.)

     * b) Is it a DAG (directed acyclic graph)? \\ The paper probably suggests that yes, although in practice this is not true -- SDs capture correfence-like relations, which may form a directed cycle. See page 17 of [[http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/dependencies_manual.pdf|Stanford typed dependencies manual]], which shows this on "the woman who introduced you".     * b) Is it a DAG (directed acyclic graph)? \\ The paper probably suggests that yes, although in practice this is not true -- SDs capture correfence-like relations, which may form a directed cycle.

   - Try to devise the SD representation of the following sentence: //Small boys and girls must go to school.//   - Try to devise the SD representation of the following sentence: //Small boys and girls must go to school.//
 +Hint: you should probably use the following SD types: //amod, aux, conj_*, nsubj, prep_*, root//.
 +The 'root' relation was probably not mentioned in the paper (so you don't have to use it) -- it is used to denote the dependent of the technical ROOT-0 node.
 +If you want, try to also draw that as a graph representation.
