    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we proposed a technique for dependency parsing of monologue sentences based on clause-boundary detection. The method can achieve more effective, high-performance spoken monologue parsing by dividing a sentence into clauses, which are considered as suitable language units for simplicity. To evaluate the effectiveness of our method for Japanese spoken monologue, we conducted an experiment on dependency parsing of the spoken monologue sentences recorded in the &amp;quot;Asu-Wo-Yomu.&amp;quot; From the experimental re- null sults, we confirmed that our method shortened the parsing time and increased the parsing accuracy compared with the conventional method, which parses a sentence without dividing it into clauses. Future research will include making a thorough investigation into the relation between dependency type and the type of clause boundary unit. After that, we plan to investigate techniques for identifying the dependency relations over clause boundaries. Furthermore, as the experiment described in this paper has shown the effectiveness of our technique for dependency parsing of long sentences in spoken monologues, so our technique can be expected to be effective in written language also.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Therefore, we want to examine the effectiveness by conducting the parsing experiment of long sentences in written language such as newspaper articles. null</Paragraph>
