Abstract
This paper presents GePaDeSE, a new resource with annotations of clause-level aspect in German parliamentary debates, also known as Situation Entity types. The new resource includes 250 political speeches from the German Bundestag, given by 192 speakers, with over 220,000 tokens. In the paper, we first describe the new corpus and the annotation process. Then we present experiments on automatically classifying clause-level aspect and present an in-depth analysis where we show the potential of Situation Entities for the analysis of political discourse.
