This dominance is mainly because chunkbased dependency analysis looks most appropriate for Japanese syntax due to its morphosyntactic typology, which includes agglutination and scrambling (Bekki, 2010).
it is also true that this type of analysis has prevented us from deeper syntactic analysis such as deep parsing (Clark and Curran, 2007) and logical inference (Bos et al., 2004;Bos, 2007), both of which have been surpassing shallow parsing-based approaches in languages like English.
