Abstract
This paper explains the principles of dependency analysis by reduction and its correspondence to the notions of dependency and dependency tree. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Czech, a language with a relatively high degree of word-order freedom. The paper sums up the basic features of methods of dependency syntax. The method serves as a basis for the verification (and explanation) of the adequacy of formal and computational models of those methods.
This paper is a result of the project supported by the grant No. 1ET100300517. We would like to thank an anonymous reviewer for his valuable comments and recommendations.
