This paper briefly describes the Turkish Discourse Bank, the first publicly available annotated discourse resource for Turkish. It focuses on the challenges posed by annotating Turkish, a free word order language with rich inflectional and derivational morphology. It shows the usefulness of the PDTB style annotation but points out the need to expand this annotation style with the needs of the target language.

Turkish Discourse Bank: Connectives and Their Configurations Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem (Springer, 2018-01-01) The Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB) is a resource of approximately 400,000 words in its current release in which explicit discourse connectives and phrasal expressions are annotated along with the textual spans they relate. The corpus has been annotated by annotators using a semiautomatic annotation tool. We expect that it will enable researchers to study aspects of language beyond the sentence level. The TDB follows the Penn Discourse Tree Bank (PDTB) in adopting a connective-based annotation for discourse. T...

Pair Annotation as a Novel Annotation Procedure: The Case of Turkish Discourse Bank Demirşahin, Işın; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (2017-6-17) In this chapter, we provide an overview of Turkish Discourse Bank, a resource of ∼∼400,000 words built on a sub-corpus of the 2-million-word METU Turkish Corpus annotated following the principles of Penn Discourse Tree Bank. We first present the annotation framework we adopted, explaining how it differs from the annotation of the original language, English. Then we focus on a novel annotation procedure that we have devised and named pair annotation after pair programming. We discuss the advantages it has of...
