This is due to the fact that it can process sentences in linear time (Nivre, 2003); is highly accurate (Zhang and Nivre, 2011;Bohnet and Nivre, 2012;; and has elegant mechanisms for parsing non-projective sentences (Nivre, 2009).
there have been numerous studies into different transition systems, each with varying properties and complexities (Nivre, 2003;Attardi, 2006;Nivre, 2008;Nivre, 2009;Gómez-Rodríguez and Nivre, 2010;Choi and Palmer, 2011;Pitler and McDonald, 2015).
