Universal Derivations

Introduction

Universal Derivations (UDer) is a collection of harmonised lexical networks capturing word-formation, especially derivation, in a cross-linguistically consistent annotation scheme for many languages. The annotation scheme is based on a rooted tree data structure (as used in the DeriNet 2.0 database), in which nodes correspond to lexemes while edges represent relations between lexemes (derivation, compounding, conversion, spelling variants etc.). For more details see Universal Derivations webpage.
