5 Conclusions and Further Research
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we have presented work in progress devoted to the syntactic annotation of a large Italian corpus. We have just started working in this direction and the biggest part of the work has still to be done. We are currently evaluating the TUT encoding of dependency information, and identifying areas that allow optimization from the point of view of CTL type induction.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> A case in point is the heavy reliance of TUT on empty elements and/or traces, which conflicts with our desire for an empirically-based and theory-neutral representation of linguistic dependencies. It seems that the trace artifact can be avoided if one properly exploits the more expressive category concept of CTL, allowing product types for asyndetic constructions, and higher-order typesfor multiple dependencies. In parallel, we are looking for other sources of dependency information for Italian, in order to complement the rather small TUT database we have at our disposal now.</Paragraph>
