Abstract
A POS-tagger can be used in front of a parser to reduce the number of combinations of possible dependency trees which, in the majority, give spurious analyses. In the paper we compare the results of the addition of three morphological taggers to the parser of the CDG Lab. The experimental results show that these models perform better than the model which do not use a morphological tagger at the cost of loosing some correct analyses. In fact, the adequacy of these solutions is mainly based on the compatibility between the lexical units defined by the taggers and the dependency grammar.
