This paper presents an annotation scheme for English modal verbs together with sense-annotated data from the news domain.We describe our annotation scheme and discuss problematic cases for modality annotation based on the inter-annotator agreement during the annotation.Furthermore, we present experiments on automatic sense tagging, showing that our annotations do provide a valuable training resource for NLP systems.
