“…A tool was created to serve a double purpose: firstly, the creation of the corpus and, secondly, the annotation of the predicates with the 5 categories presented above (Fernández-Montraveta, Curell, Vázquez & Castellón, 2020). Figure 1 shows the segmentation of sentences as presented to the annotators.…”

This paper reports on a study of the inter-annotation agreement to assess the manual annotation of the TAGFACT Gold Standard corpus. This corpus has been created as part of a larger project (TAGFACT), whose final objective is to automatize the classification of the factual status of events in a corpus of Spanish journalistic texts. In our study, six annotators labeled a corpus using the four levels of linguistic description proposed in our project to extract factual information. Each one of these levels has been assessed independently. As expected, the more fine-grained the classification is, the more problematic the annotation. This study identifies some of the most important differences and discusses the main problems encountered to obtain full agreement. We use Cohen's Kappa to measure inter-annotation agreement as well as descriptive statistical analysis.

This paper presents the results of a corpus-based study on the contribution of Spanish aspectual auxiliary verbs to the factual interpretation of the predicates they modify and with which they constitute the verb complex (a verb periphrasis, VP). The study was carried out as part of a project that, based on linguistic knowledge, aimed at automatizing the annotation of the factual status of texts in this language. We analyzed 674 sentences in European Spanish extracted from four corpora, where 28 VPs were represented, considering only indicative tenses. Interestingly, the results show that, although one of the most important aspects that affects the factual interpretation in sentences with VPs is the verb tense of the auxiliary, in a few VPs, the type of auxiliary changes the factual value expected for the VP taking into account the tense used. Finally, based on the data under analysis, the study concludes that it is feasible to state general rules to automate the annotation of factuality for most of the aspectual VPs studied.

Al describir una situación (un evento o un estado) expresamos el grado de certeza (factualidad) que poseemos sobre dicha situación, presentándola como cierta, incierta o no cierta. En este artículo analizamos el valor factual de las dos cláusulas de cerca de 500 oraciones condicionales en español con si procedentes de distintos periódicos españoles. Nuestra hipótesis es que es posible determinar la factualidad en estas oraciones teniendo en cuenta la presencia de si y los tiempos verbales de las prótasis y las apódosis. El objetivo es crear reglas formales para anotar de forma automática los valores factuales de las cláusulas de estas oraciones. Con ello, se pretende contribuir a la representación y al análisis de la factualidad de los eventos mencionados en un texto dentro de los ámbitos de la lingüística de corpus y el procesamiento del lenguaje natural. Además, se han identificado 20 combinaciones temporales que no habían sido descritas anteriormente.
