Subject of this paper is a fine-grained multilevel annotation model to enhance opinion detection in German blog comments. Up to now, only little research deals with the finegrained analysis of evaluative expressions in German blog comments. Therefore, we suggest a multi-level annotation model where different linguistic means as well as linguistic peculiarities of users’ formulation and evaluation styles in blog comments are considered. The model is intended as a basic scheme for the annotation of evaluative expressions in blog data. This annotation provides suitable features for implementing methods to automatically detect user opinions in blog comments.
