Annotating Information Structure in a Corpus of Spoken Danish
Patrizia Paggio · 2006
This paper presents the work done to annotate a corpus of spoken Danish with information structure tags, and describes a preliminary study in which the corpus has been used to investigate the relation between focus and intra-clausal pauses.The study indicates that the pauses that do fall within the focus domain, tend to precede property-expressing words by which the object in focus is distinguished from other similar ones.
