An Annotation System for Development of Chinese Discourse Corpus

Hen‐Hsen Huang, Hsin‐Hsi Chen · International Conference on Computational Linguistics · 2012

Well-annotated discourse corpora facilitate the discourse researches. Unlike English, the Chinese discourse corpus is not widely available yet. In this paper, we present a webbased annotation system to develop a Chinese discourse corpus with much finer annotation. We first review our previous corpora from the practical point of view, then propose a flexible annotation framework, and finally demonstrate the web-based annotation system. Under the proposed annotation scheme, both the explicit and the implicit discourse relations occurring on various linguistic levels will be captured and labelled with three-level PDTB tags. Besides, the sentiment information of each instance is also annotated for advanced study.
