Annotating abstract anaphora
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present first results from annotating abstract (discoursedeictic) anaphora in German. Our annotation guidelines provide linguistic tests for identifying the antecedent, and for determining the semantic types of both the antecedent and the anaphor. The corpus consists of selected speaker turns from the Europarl corpus. To date, 100 texts have been annotated according to these guidelines. The annotations show that anaphoric personal and demonstrative pronouns differ with respect to the distance to their antecedents. A semantic analysis reveals that, contrary to suggestions put forward in the literature, referents of anaphors do not tend to be more abstract than the referents of their antecedents.

Towards a standard for annotating abstract anaphora
This paper presents a survey on the annotation of abstract (= discourse-deictic) anaphora, i.e. anaphora that involves reference to abstract entities such as events and propositions. The survey identifies features that are common to the majority of relevant annotation efforts. Based on these, we propose a small set of recommendations, which can be viewed as a first, small step towards a standar...
متن کاملAnnotating Abstract Pronominal Anaphora in the DAD Project
In this paper we present an extension of the MATE/GNOME annotation scheme for anaphora (Poesio, 2004) which accounts for abstract anaphora in Danish and Italian. By abstract anaphora it is here meant pronouns whose linguistic antecedents are verbal phrases, clauses and discourse segments. The extended scheme, which we call the DAD annotation scheme, allows to annotate information about abstract...
متن کاملCoreference and anaphora: developing annotating tools, annotated resources and annotation strategies
The paper summarises the work of the Research Group in Computational Linguistics at the University of Wolverhampton towards the production of much needed annotated resources for evaluation and training of anaphora resolution systems. In particular, it describes the annotating tools developed to support the annotation, the corpora annotated and the annotation strategy adopted. Finally, future
متن کاملArabic anaphora resolution: corpora annotation with coreferential links
Annotated resources are much needed for evaluation and training of anaphora resolution systems. The coreferential chain annotation is a difficult task which can not be realised without an appropriate tool. In this paper, we present our work on Arabic corpora annotation with anaphoric links (i.e., the annotation of the identity relation between the anaphors and their antecedents). In particular,...
متن کاملAnnotating Discourse Anaphora
In this paper, we present preliminary work on corpus-based anaphora resolution of discourse deixis in German. Our annotation guidelines provide linguistic tests for locating the antecedent, and for determining the semantic types of both the antecedent and the anaphor. The corpus consists of selected speaker turns from the Europarl corpus.
