<div>The Stanford parser (<a href="http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/lex-parser.shtml" target="_blank">http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/lex-parser.shtml</a>) also has an Arabic model. You can get dependencies from the phrase structure parses, though not typed dependencies (<a href="http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/parser-arabic-faq.shtml#j" target="_blank">http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/parser-arabic-faq.shtml#j</a>).</div>
