The cases of ARG?-DSP, when projected to dependencies may not be trivial.

Does the annotation above make sense? @MarthaSPalmer? Considering that token 3 is argument of token 13, can we only annotate token 13? The DSP would only mark that the argument is actually an ancestor of the token 8 (the predicate).

@nschneid, what about the syntactic annotation?

Yet another case to encourage some thoughts. Basically, here, the 'that' was annotated as WHADVP in the constituent analysis and in UD it is SCONJ/mark introducing the subordinate clause.

13> It was during this year that the Japanese army developed a strategy to rapidly force the Chinese people into submission by the end of 1940 .

@nschneid, what about the syntactic annotation?

Well, the sentence isn't 100% grammatical.

This sentence exemplifies a tough-construction: [How much is its accuracy] + hard + [to determine].
I'm not entirely sure how to analyze it, but I suspect it should be csubj instead of ccomp for the attachment of the first clause. There is a long unresolved discussion at UniversalDependencies/docs#308.
