Semantic Frame Annotation on the French MEDIA corpus

This paper introduces a knowledge representation formalism used for annotation of the French MEDIA dialogue corpus in terms of high level semantic structures. The semantic annotation, worked out according to the Berkeley FrameNet paradigm, is incremental and partially automated. We describe an automatic interpretation process for composing semantic structures from basic semantic constituents us...

Automatic Annotation of Direct Reported Speech in Arabic and French, According to a Semantic Map of Enunciative Modalities

We present an analysis of the linguistic markers of the enunciative modalities in direct reported speech, in a multilingual framework concerning Arabic and French. Furthermore, we present a platform for automatic annotation of semantic relations, based on the Contextual Exploration method. This platform allows the automatic annotation and categorisation of quotational segments in both languages...

Cross-Lingual Validity of PropBank in the Manual Annotation of French

Methods that re-use existing mono-lingual semantic annotation resources to annotate a new language rely on the hypothesis that the semantic annotation scheme used is cross-lingually valid. We test this hypothesis in an annotation agreement study. We show that the annotation scheme can be applied cross-lingually.

A General Framework for the Annotation of Causality Based on FrameNet

We present here a general set of semantic frames to annotate causal expressions, with a rich lexicon in French and an annotated corpus of about 4000 instances of causal lexical items with their corresponding semantic frames. The aim of our project is to have both the largest possible coverage of causal phenomena in French, across all parts of speech, and have it linked to a general semantic fra...
