AP03-2021-01 Detailed Annotation and Qualifiers version-independent DOI 10.25592/uhhfdm.10223

Authors: Loos, Cornelia / Konrad, Reiner

Abstract (en): This project note provides an overview of which steps have been taken to make the DGS Corpus searchable for common morphological and syntactic phenomena in DGS: negation, indicating verbs, and compounding. We present the transcription methodology team’s process in identifying factors that need to be considered in the transcription of these phenomena and how they should be annotated. Tokens with morphological negation, for instance, are matched to a qualified type, i.e. a child type of a type or subtype. The gloss of a qualified type is a combination of the type’s or subtype’s gloss and a qualifier code (in this case 'alph) that represents a specific form modification. We also present a list of qualifiers that could potentially be used for further detailed transcription and discuss quality assurance processes for gauging how these have been used by annotators and which qualified types need revision.
