Metadiscourse across languages and genres: An overview

Annotating Attribution Relations across Languages and Genres

In Pareti (2012) I presented an approach to the annotation of attribution defining it as a relation intertwined albeit independent from other linguistic levels and phenomena. While a portion of this relation can be identified at the syntactic level (Skadhauge and Hardt, 2005) and part of it can overlap with the argument of discourse connectives (Prasad et al., 2006), attribution is best represe...

Experiments on bridging across languages and genres

In this paper, we introduce a typology of bridging relations applicable to multiple languages and genres. After discussing our annotation guidelines, we describe annotation experiments on the German part of our parallel coreference corpus and show that our interannotator agreement results are reliable, considering both antecedent selection and relation assignment. In order to validate our theor...

Metacognitive (Rending) Strategies Across Languages and Techniques

The NewSoMe Corpus: A Unifying Opinion Annotation Framework across Genres and in Multiple Languages

We present the NewSoMe (News and Social Media) Corpus, a set of subcorpora with annotations on opinion expressions across genres (news reports, blogs, product reviews and tweets) and covering multiple languages (English, Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese). NewSoMe is the result of an effort to increase the opinion corpus resources available in languages other than English, and to build a unifying...

Across Languages and Genres: Creating a Universal Annotation Scheme for Textual Relations

The present paper describes an attempt to create an interoperable scheme using existing annotations of textual phenomena across languages and genres including non-canonical ones. Such a kind of analysis requires annotated multilingual resources which are costly. Therefore, we make use of annotations already available in the resources for English, German and Czech. As the annotations in these co...
