| Challenge: | Existing morphological lexicons are limited in scope and are not universally accepted . morphology lexical information is encoded into morphologists or gathered in lexiconics . |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual collection of morphological lexicons that follow the Universal Dependencies initiative. |
| Outcome: | The proposed collection of 53 morphological lexicons covers 38 languages . they have been shown to improve part-of-speech tagging and parsing accuracy . |

| Challenge: | Using the universal dependencies framework, we address the need for a universal representation of morphological analysis that can capture alternative morphology of surface tokens and is compatible with the segmentation and morphologic annotation guidelines prescribed for UD treebanks. |
| Approach: | They propose a new annotation format for word lattices that represent morphological analyses and a resource that obeys this format for a range of typologically different languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can capture alternative morphological analyses of surface tokens and is compatible with the segmentation and morphology guidelines prescribed for UD treebanks. |

| Challenge: | Grammatical constructions that convey meaning through a particular combination of several morphosyntactic elements are not labeled holistically. |
| Approach: | They propose to augment UD annotations with a ‘UCxn’ annotation layer for such meaning-bearing grammatical constructions and to approach this in a typologically informed way so that morphosyntactic strategies can be compared across languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotation layer could be used to annotate meaning-bearing constructions across languages and to compare them across languages. |
