This paper presents an extended annotation and analysis of interpretative reply relations focusing on a comparison of reply relation types and targets between conflictual pages and neutral pages of German Wikipedia (WP) talk pages. We briefly present the different categories identified for interpretative reply relations to analyze the relationship between WP postings as well as linguistic cues for each category. We investigate referencing strategies of WP authors in discussion page postings, illustrated by means of reply relation types and targets taking into account the degree of disagreement displayed on a WP talk page. We provide richly annotated data that can be used for further analyses such as the identification of interactional relations on higher levels, or for training tasks in machine learning algorithms.
This paper presents types and annotation layers of reply relations in computer- mediated communication (CMC). Reply relations hold between post units in CMC interactions and describe references from one given post to a previous post. We classify three types of reply relations in CMC interactions: first, technical replies, i. e. the possibility to reply directly to a previous post by clicking a ‘reply’ button; second, indentations, e. g. in wiki talk pages in which users insert their contributions in the existing talk page by indenting them and third, interpretative reply relations, i. e. the reply action is not realised formally but signalled by other structural or linguistics means such as address markers ‘@’, greetings, citations and/or Q-A structures. We take a look at existing practices in the description and representation of such relations in corpora and examples of chat, Wikipedia talk pages, Twitter and blogs. We then provide an annotation proposal that combines the different levels of description and representation of reply relations and which adheres to the schemas and practices for encoding CMC corpus documents within the TEI framework as defined by the TEI CMC SIG. It constitutes a prerequisite for correctly identifying higher levels of interactional relations such as dialogue acts or discussion trees.
This paper analyses reply relations in computer-mediated communication (CMC), which occur between post units in CMC interactions and which describe references between posts. We take a look at existing practices in the description and annotation of such relations in chat, wiki talk, and blog corpora. We distinguish technical reply structures, indentation structures, and interpretative reply relations, which include reply relations induced by linguistic markers. We sort out the different levels of description and annotation that are involved and propose a solution for their combined representation within the TEI annotation framework.
