Abstract: The Covington algorithm LSUP for the syntactic analysis of projective dependencies is considered. It is shown that the algorithm does not analyze all the projective structures (in particular, those specified in the article itself), so the use of this algorithm leads to incorrect results.

Keywords: syntactic analysis, projective dependency, corpus linguistics, dependency trees.
