Furthermore, while words tend to be hard to align in a cross-lingual setting due to homonymy and polysemy, morpho-syntactic information tends to be much more robust to language barrier (depending on typological closeness), which make them particularly relevant for cross-lingual transfer.
with delexicalized parsing approaches (Mc-Donald et al., 2011), the proposed method uses delexicalization during word embedding learning, not during parsing.
