This repository contains data and processing files of our project "Text Worlds".
We design annotation schemes and create a corpus of annotated literary narratives based on the theory of text worlds. The Text World Theory is developed in cognitive linguistics. A text world is a stretch of text characterized by the union of characters, time and space. Whenever there is a significant change in time and space, a new text world opens to hold all of its participants.
The theory opens a perspective to computationally study and model narrative structures.
This repository contains XML-files annotated with two annotation schemes.
Scheme 1 was employed in annotation of "The Gift of the Magi" (see files starting with "Magi"). This scheme included immediate annotation of text world elements: time, place and characters, and shifts in time and space. As the latter can happen not only on the lexical level, we added automatic morphological markup of verb tenses, performed with nltk (e.g. "There was VBD clearly nothing to do VB"). The guidelines for this scheme are in the file https://github.com/evrog/TextWorlds/blob/master/Annotation_guidelines_scheme_1.md in this repository.
Scheme 2 was used in the rest of the files (all in Russian). This scheme separates two levels of annotation: that of the world text elements (characters, space and time) and shifts (switches between the text worlds). The two levels were annotated separately, not necessariliy by the same annotator. The Russian guidelines to this scheme are given here:
- Annotation of elements: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRUhO_ab4AFz1lSIuqf_ZifZWZQZyQJeNR2FHv720vUTgHkAhr1lmtrduMSK8KeJA/pub
- Annotation of shifts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS2HPn-MjWZhMp-wF8sMH4uyq4Jjo0DQ0-eecR92XlRWd3Ph495KpYDyV9t66Dk3g/pub
The following table demonstrates how many texts were annotated with elements and shifts with Scheme 2. Titles are abbreviated. See extended description of text sources below.
| TITLE | Elements | Shifts |
|---|---|---|
| Потец | 1 | 1 |
| Попугай | 1 | 5 |
| Мирная | 1 | 1 |
| Лягушка | 1 | 1 |
| Лисичка | 6 | 0 |
| Лампа | 2 | 0 |
| Иванушка | 2 | 2 |
| Дочь | 5 | 3 |
| Волк | 4 | 1 |
| Умный | 1 | 0 |
| Они | 1 | 0 |
| Визит | 1 | 0 |
