Abstract
We propose a technique to generate nonprojective word orders in an efficient statistical linearization system. Our approach predicts liftings of edges in an unordered syntactic tree by means of a classifier, and uses a
projective algorithm for tree linearization. We
obtain statistically significant improvements
on six typologically different languages: English, German, Dutch, Danish, Hungarian, and
Czech.
