## Abstract (arXiv)

Critique has surfaced concerning the existing linguistic annotation framework for Korean Universal Dependencies (UDs), particularly in relation to syntactic relationships. In this paper, our primary objective is to refine the definition of syntactic dependency of UDs within the context of analyzing the Korean language. Our aim is not only to achieve a consensus within UDs but also to garner agreement beyond the UD framework for analyzing Korean sentences using dependency structure, by establishing a linguistic consensus model.
