The paper presents our work on the annotation of intra-chunk dependencies on an English treebank that was previously annotated with Inter-chunk dependencies, and for which there exists a fully expanded parallel Hindi dependency treebank. This provides fully parsed dependency trees for the English treebank. We also report an analysis of the inter-annotator agreement for this chunk expansion task. Further, these fully expanded parallel Hindi and English treebanks were word aligned and an analysis for the task has been given. Issues related to intra-chunk expansion and alignment for the language pair HindiEnglish are discussed and guidelines for these tasks have been prepared and released.
