Building a Pragmatically Annotated Diachronic Corpus: The DIADIta Project

Irene De Felice, Francesca Strik Lievers


Abstract
We present here the initial stages of the construction of the DIADIta corpus, a diachronic corpus of Italian annotated for interactional pragmatic phenomena. First, we describe the annotation scheme, which is structured into four levels: speech acts (e.g., apology; threat), forms (e.g., discourse marker; expressive), pragmatic functions (which are speaker-oriented, e.g., mitigation; turn-taking), and pragmatic aims (which are interlocutor-oriented, e.g., attention-getting; request for agreement). Next, we discuss how the results of a first annotation exercise provide indications for refining the annotation procedure.
