Graph-style queries on dependences and coreferences

[statsmaths]

Does anyone have any experience working with complex graph queries in R, particularly as an application to dependency trees or coreference graphs? For example: identifying verbal phrases, collapsing noun clauses, or tagging zero relatives clauses. I've found doing this with dplyr joins or igraph queries is either clunky or simply not feasible.

If you have advice on this, or you would be interested in thinking or working on a solution, please reply here or come find me at the workshop!
