Identifying communicative functions in discourse with content types

Texts are not monolithic entities but rather coherent collections of micro illocutionary acts which help to convey a unitary message of content and purpose. Identifying such text segments is challenging because they require a fine-grained level of analysis even within a single sentence. At the same time, accessing them facilitates the analysis of the communicative functions of a text as well as the identification of relevant information. We propose an empirical framework for modelling micro i...

How to Annotate Emotions in Historical Italian Novels: a Case Study on I Promessi Sposi

This paper describes the annotation of a chapter taken from I Promessi Sposi, the most famous Italian novel of the 19th century written by Alessandro Manzoni, following 3 emotion classifications. The aim of this methodological paper is to understand: i) how the annotation procedure changes depending on the granularity of the classification, ii) how the different granularities impact the inter-annotator agreement, iii) which granularity allows good coverage of emotions, iv) if the chosen class...

Is Sentence Splitting a Solved Task? Experiments to the Intersection Between NLP and Italian Linguistics

Sentence splitting, that is the segmentation of the raw input text into sentences, is a fundamental step in text processing. Although it is considered a solved task for texts such as news articles and Wikipedia pages, the performance of systems can vary greatly depending on the text genre. This paper presents the evaluation of the performance of eight sentence splitting tools adopting different approaches (rule-based, supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised learning) on Italian 19th-cen...

That branch of the Lake of Como...: Developing a New Resource for the Analysis of I Promessi Sposi and its Historical Translations

This paper presents a directional parallel corpus of the Ventisettana, that is the version of I Promessi Sposi published by Manzoni in 1827, aligned at sentence level with the anonymous English translation published in London in 1834 by Richard Bentley. After describing the procedure followed for creating the resource and analyzing the results of the manual alignment, the corpus is used as a gold standard to evaluate Bertalign automatic aligner. This new linguistic resource can benefit the re...
