Metaphor Annotation: A Systematic Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes a study of metaphor annotation that was carried out as part of the ATT-Meta project. The study lead to a number of results about metaphor and how it is signalled that are reported elsewhere (e.g. Wallington et al 2003a, Wallington et al 2003b). It also resulted in a public database of metaphorical views (http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/attmeta/DatabankDCA/index.html). The annotated files are also viewable on line at: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~amw/dcaProject. The primary aim of this document is to describe how the project was set up and run, and to discuss the measures we took to identify and quantify inter-annotator (dis)agreement.
