Hello,

We are working in the project where we need a "good" dependency parser
for French, but it seems... there is no tool for this purpose. We
found Maltparser could be used for any language but it needs to be
trained on a large French treebank which we don't have (actually we
don't think it's easy to get this resource). I am wondering if there
is any other tool for this specific purpose? Any suggestion would be
highly welcome!

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,
Wang

I guess the best one is the one Jacques Chauché 
has derived from his multilevel parser for 
French, SYGFRAN (which produces 
Vauquois-Weissenborn multilevel structures), for 
competitions on dependency parsing. If I am not 
mistaken, it has come first or in very good 
position in 2 competitions on dependency parsers 
for French, GRACE and EASY. It has a quite large 
coverage (with about 50000 simple and comound 
lexical units, including many nominal and verbal 
idioms).

I put his group in copy. They might have a web 
server not only for SYGFRAN, but for the 
dependency trees output.

Best regards,

Xan
