Complex Annotations with NooJ

NooJ associates each text with a Text Annotation Structure, in which each recognized linguistic unit is represented by an annotation. Annotations store the position of the text units to be represented, their length, and linguistic information. NooJ can represent and process complex annotations, such as those that represent units inside word forms, as well as those that are discontinuous. We demonstrate how to use NooJ‟s morphological, lexical, and syntactic tools to formalize and process these complex annotations.
