Resumen de Extending effect annotation with lexical decomposition

Josef Ruppenhofer, Jasper Brandes

• In this contribution, we report on an effort to annotate German data with information relevant to opinion inference. Such information has previously been referred to as effect or couched in terms of event- evaluation functors. We extend the theory and present an extensive scheme that combines both approaches and thus extends the set of inference-relevant predicates. Using these guidelines to annotate 726 German synsets, we achieve good inter-annotator agreement.
