## Abstract (arXiv)

We compare the performance of a transition-based parser in regards to different annotation schemes. We pro-pose to convert some specific syntactic constructions observed in the universal dependency treebanks into a so-called more standard representation and to evaluate parsing performances over all the languages of the project. We show that the ``standard'' constructions do not lead systematically to better parsing performance and that the scores vary considerably according to the languages.
