Most previous work in cross-language adaptation has used parallel corpora to project dependency structures across translations using word alignments (Smith and Eisner, 2009;Spreyer and Kuhn, 2009;Ganchev et al., 2009), but in this paper we show that similar results can be achieved by much simpler means.
we build on the cross-language adaptation algorithm for closely related languages developed by Zeman and Resnik (2008) and extend it to much less related languages.
