MOR manual?

[Brian Macwhinney]

Yes, everything has been converted for all 15 databases and for all languages, except a few low-resource languages that do not yet have a UD grammar.

>> Yes, there is still a %mor tier. It just has different notation. The noun and verbs in UD format simply are "noun|" and "verb|". In old MOR they are "n|" and "v|". You are right that there is no easy way to get information about UD format. The Universal Dependencies web page has all the necessary information, but it is buried deep among all other clutter. On their web page https://universaldependencies.org <https://universaldependencies.org/> look for Annotation guidelines <https://universaldependencies.org/guidelines.html> and click on that link. Next on "UD Guidelines" web page click on Morphology <https://universaldependencies.org/u/overview/morphology.html> link. Then on "Morphology: General Principle" web page you can see what you are looking for. Particularly look at the list of universal POS tags <https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/index.html>.

I’ve posted various messages Have you been able to track any of this.  I would be happy to explain in detail.  I do have a copy of the MOR manual, but given the fact that all of the data in all of TalkBank is now in UD format, the older MOR format is not that relevant.
