What is Semantic Annotation?

Semantic annotation captures meaning components and relationships between linguistic elements.

This module teaches how to annotate:

  • • Identify core semantic roles (A0, A1, etc.)
  • • Map verbs to semantic frames
  • • Annotate event structures and participants
  • • Represent discourse relations
