Abstract
Linguistic annotation is crucial for the development and evaluation of natural language processing tools. Machine-learning based approaches to part-of-speech tagging, word sense disambiguation, information extraction or anaphora resolution - just to name a few - rely on annotated corpora.
Furthermore, entering the new era of the Semantic Web, there is a growing need for the construction of large corpora of hierarchically annotated texts and the reusability of annotated language resources.
“Episimiotis” is a tool for annotating a complex hierarchical and linguistic structure of any text. It was primarily designed for the tagging and analysis of errors made in written assessments by students of Modern Greek as foreign language by means of a predefined tagset. However, its scope can be extended to any type of detailed structure annotation using different annotation schemes via a user-friendly interface.
Linguistic annotation in texts is essential for the study of language and the development of NLP tools. Annotation can help researcher to identify and examine a large variety of linguistic phenomena and structures such as:
• Errors (e.g. wrong use of parts of the speech, syntactical errors, orthographical errors)
• Parts of the speech
• Rhetorical structures • Name entities etc
