Abstract

The paper focuses on the modelling of the parts of speech and their lexical and grammatical characteristics in the framework of the multilingual Universal Dependencies initiative with a view to the description of Bulgarian. Special focus is put on the modelling of auxiliaries and determiners. I conclude that, on the one hand, the Universal model is useful for typological comparisons among languages, while on the other, the price of rendering language structures comparable crosslingually is sometimes paid by the adoption of non-typical models for representing language-specific phenomena.
