The present study approaches the indexing of epistemicity and evidentiality from the point of view of register by analyzing a total of 30 oral and 30 written productions of two opinion reports (one dealing with a debatable issue and the other with a nondebatable issue) produced by 15 Catalan speakers. The main aim of the paper is to test the potential effects of register (i.e., oral vs. written discourse) and debatability (i.e., debatable vs. nondebatable issue) on the discourse marking of evidentiality and epistemicity.

This paper presents the main sources of disagreement found during the annotation of the Spanish SFU Review Corpus with negation (SFU ReviewSP -NEG). Negation detection is a challenge in most of the task related to NLP, so the availability of corpora annotated with this phenomenon is essential in order to advance in tasks related to this area. A thorough analysis of the problems found during the annotation could help in the study of this phenomenon.

In this article, we focus on two languages within the Romance group (Catalan and Friulian) that have been reported to use intonation and pragmatic markers to different extents to mark epistemic meanings (e.g., [17], [18]). A total of 15 speakers per language were asked to participate in a Discourse Completion Task designed to elicit statements with several degrees of speaker commitment.

Distributional Semantic Models (DSM) are growing in popularity in Computational Linguistics. DSM use corpora of language use to automatically induce formal representations of word meaning. This article focuses on one of the applications of DSM: identifying groups of semantically related words. We compare two models for obtaining formal representations: a well known approach (CLUTO) and a more recently introduced one (Word2Vec). We compare the two models with respect to the PoS coherence and the semantic relatedness of the words within the obtained groups.

En este artículo se presentan los criterios aplicados para la anotación del corpus SFU ReviewSP-NEG con negación y la tipología lingüística correspondiente. Esta tipología presenta la ventaja de ser fácilmente expresable en términos de un tagset para la anotación de corpus, de presentar tipos claramente delimitados, evitando así la ambigüedad en el proceso de anotación, y de presentar una amplia cobertura, es decir, que ha servido para resolver todos los casos que han aparecido. El corpus contiene 400 comentarios y 198.551 palabras.
