Annotating Discourse Anaphora
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Annotating Topic Development in Information Seeking Queries
This paper contributes to the limited body of empirical research in the domain of discourse structure of information seeking queries. We describe the development of an annotation schema for coding topic development in information seeking queries and the initial observations from a pilot sample of query sessions. The main idea that we explore is the relationship between constant and variable dis...
متن کاملTowards 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 کاملDiscourse-Level Annotation For Investigating Information Structure
We present discourse-level annotation of newspaper texts in German and English, as part of an ongoing project aimed at investigating information structure from a cross-linguistic perspective. Rather than annotating some specific notion of information structure, we propose a theory-neutral annotation of basic features at the levels of syntax, prosody and discourse, using treebank data as a start...
متن کاملThe Predicate-Argument Structure of Discourse Connectives A Corpus-based Study
Discourse connectives can be analyzed as encoding predicate-argument relations whose arguments derive from the interpretation of discourse units. These arguments can be anaphoric or structural. Although structural arguments can be encoded in a parse tree, anaphoric arguments must be resolved by other means. A study of nine connectives, annotating the location, size, and syntactic type of their ...
