Chinese is a language rich in nonlocal dependencies. Correctly resolving these dependencies is crucial in understanding the predicate-argument structure of a sentence. Making full use of the trace annotations in the Penn Chinese Treebank (Xue et al., 2005), this research contributes several test sets of Chinese nonlocal dependencies which occur in different grammatical constructions. These datasets can be used by an automatic dependency parser to evaluate its performance on nonlocal dependency resolution in various syntactic constructions in Chinese.

Abstract
Chinese is a language rich in nonlocal dependencies. Correctly resolving these dependencies is crucial in understanding the predicate-argument structure of a sentence. Making full use of the trace annotations in the Penn Chinese Treebank (Xue et al., 2005), this research contributes several test sets of Chinese nonlocal dependencies which occur in different grammatical constructions. These datasets can be used by an automatic dependency parser to evaluate its performance on nonlocal dependency resolution in various syntactic constructions in Chinese.
