This paper discusses the representation of coordinate structures in the Universal Dependencies framework for two head-final languages, Japanese and Korean.UD applies a strict principle that makes the head of coordination the left-most conjunct.However, the guideline may produce syntactic trees which are difficult to accept in head-final languages.This paper describes the status in the current Japanese and Korean corpora and proposes alternative designs suitable for these languages.
