Annotating abstract anaphora

Abstract: In this paper, we present first results from annotating abstract (discourse-deictic) anaphora in German. Our annotation guidelines provide linguistic tests for identifying the antecedent, and for determining the semantic types of both the antecedent and the anaphor. The corpus consists of selected speaker turns from the Europarl corpus. To date, 100 texts have been annotated according to these guidelines. The annotations show that anaphoric personal and demonstrative pronouns differ with respect to the distanc… Show more

“…The two studies show divergent co-reference distributions for the personal pronoun It and the demonstrative This: a bias towards entity coreference for It and a bias for event co-reference for This. As far as we know, this pattern has been proposed (Dipper and Zinsmeister, 2010), but not properly measured. Given the oft-assumed division of labor between these two pronouns, what is notable is their flexibility.…”

“…It, This and That are also frequent in dialogue data for which co-reference sys-1 Here we call event what is more commonly known as abstract anaphora (cf. Dipper and Zinsmeister (2010); Nedoluzhko and Lapshinova-Koltunski (2016)). We take as an event any non-nominal relationship for the pronouns It and This and a textual antecedent in the form of a text span of variable length (e.g., a word, a clause, several sentences).…”

“…Their collection included 455 instances of discourse deixis, although they noted ambiguity in the set of markables. Dipper and Zinsmeister (2012) also addressed discourse deixis through anaphora resolution and produced a collection of 225 abstract anaphors out of 643 candidate instances.…”

“…In this paper, we address the problem of crosslingual incongruences in the manual annotation of coreference. To our knowledge, none of the existing studies on parallel coreference annotation (Dipper and Zinsmeister, 2012;Zikánová et al, 2015;Grishina and Stede, 2017) addresses this issue. We analyse the incongruences in coreference chains in a subset of the corpus ParCorFull (Lapshinova-Koltunski et al, 2018), an English-German parallel corpus containing manual annotations of coreference.…”
