The Scope and Focus of Negation: A Complete Annotation Framework for Italian
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a complete framework for the annotation of negation in Italian, which accounts for both negation scope and negation focus, and also for language-specific phenomena such as negative concord. In our view, the annotation of negation complements more comprehensive Natural Language Processing tasks, such as temporal information processing and sentiment analysis. We applied the proposed framework and the guidelines built on top of it to the annotation of written texts, namely news articles and tweets, thus producing annotated data for a total of over 36,000 tokens.

Explorer Detecting negation scope is easy , except when it isn ’ t
Several corpora have been annotated with negation scope—the set of words whose meaning is negated by a cue like the word “not”—leading to the development of classifiers that detect negation scope with high accuracy. We show that for nearly all of these corpora, this high accuracy can be attributed to a single fact: they frequently annotate negation scope as a single span of text delimited by pu...

The scope of negation is the part of the sentence that is negated; the focus is the part of the scope that is most prominently or explicitly negated. In natural language processing, correct interpretation of negated statements requires precise detection of ...

Simply detecting negation cues is not sufficient to determine the semantics of negation, scope and focus must be taken into account. While scope detection has recently seen repeated attention, the linguistic notion of focus is only now being introduced into computational work. The *Sem2012 Shared Task is pioneering this effort by introducing a suitable dataset and annotation guidelines. CLaC’s ...
