Investigating reply relations on Wikipedia talk pages to reconstruct interactional strategies of Wikipedia authors
- This chapter presents the annotation and analysis of interpretative reply relations on Wikipedia talk pages using data from the WikiDemoCorpus (WDC). Building on an approach of annotating interpretative reply relations to analyze these relations in Wikipedia talk page posts, the chapter presents nine reply relation categories found in the German WDC. Additionally, linguistic cues for each category and the Wikipedia discussion pages overall are explained in detail, illustrated through reply relation targets. The results of the linguistic annotation are threefold: First, we provide an annotation scheme that can be used by third parties to produce more data according to their needs. Second, we shed light on and quantify the numerous ways Wikipedia authors reply to each other’s posts on talk pages. Finally, we provide richly annotated data that can be used for further analyses, such as identifying interactional relations on higher levels or training tasks in machine learning algorithms.
