(partly in German)

The guidelines can be found here: Westpfahl_Schmidt_Jonietz_Borlinghaus_STTS_2_0_2017.pdf

Here you find some data specific decisions and some cases that are specified in STTTS 2.0 and highlighted here:

• Following Rehbein 2013, we add the tag EMO for emticons and emoji to the STTS 2.0 tagset
• F16 as NE
• one word greetings and terms for saying goodbye as hi, hallo, tschüss are interjections (NGIRR)
• speaker-codes, anonymised streetnames, etc. are proper nouns (NE)
• names that were anonymised by the speaker, e.g., "Frau XX" or "XY Straße" receive the tag XY (non-word)
• if it is not possible to decide on a POS tag, e.g., due to unfinished utterances, the event stays empty
• conventionalised abbreviations (e.g., "d.h.") receive the POS tag ADV (guidelines p.13)
• "also" receives the tag SEDM or ADV depending on the context:
  • "also"/SEDM in the pre-prefield, e.g., "also/SEDM ich heiße..."
  • "also"/ADV: adverbial connector, e.g. "also/ADV ging ich die Straße entlang", connector signaling a specification (without verb), e.g., "...eine Familie, also/ADV Frau, Mann, Kind" or a correction, e.g., "derweil ist dann ein Auto gekommen äh entgegen also entlanggekommen"
• "wie" in "wie folgt" as KOKOM (see guidelines p.44 for other uses)
• "als"
  • "als"/KOUS if it introduces a subordinate clause
  • "als"/KOKOM in prototypical cases such as "ich bin größer als du", here also in "ich möchte als Zeuge aussagen"
• if "natürlich" can be replaced by "selbstverständlich" it receives the tag ADV
• interrogative adverbs "wo, wie, worüber, warum" can be used as interrogatives or can serve as relative pronouns. In both cases, they get the POStag PWAV (STTS, S.26). Examples:
  • "auf dem Mittelstreifen, wo/PWAV der Unfall passiert ist"
  • "ich weiß nicht, wo/PWAV du bist"
  • "wo/PWAV bist du"
• "was, welche" can appear
  • as interrogative pronouns, also in embedded contexts
    • substitutively: "Ich weiß nicht, was/PWS du gemacht hast"
    • attributively: "Welche/PWAT Farbe hat der Hut?";
  • as interrogative pronouns with a relative use after verbs of dicendi/sentiendi nature
    • "Er erzählt, was er gesehen hat"
  • as relative pronoun (PRELS) if the antecedent is mentioned previously
    • "das Kind, welches/PRELS sich auf der anderen Seite befand"

Weitere Beispiele

• lemma represents the shortest converging form
• nominalisations stay (Verletzte, Folgendes, Fahrer, etc.). The lemma represents the shortest converging form, so that POS and lemma match (e.g., norm: "das Spielen", pos_lang: NN, lemma: Spielen)
• speaker codes stay as they are
• the lemma of merged forms of articles and prepositions is the preposition: norm:"aufm", lemma:"auf"; norm:"mitm", lemma:"mit"; norm:"zum", lemma:"zu"
• dates are represented by @card@
• cardinal numbers stay on lemma as they are on norm layer, e.g., "zwei", "16"
• reflexive pronouns on lemma are their corresponding personal pronouns (e.g., sich zu er|sie|es)
• ordinal numbers stay as they are on norm layer
• different forms of one lexeme, because related to gender and case marking, are reduced to the shortest converging form (see table below); EXCEPTION: NN denotating persons stay in the same gender form as on norm layer, e.g., "Augenzeugin" and "Augenzeuge"
• "der", "die", "das" are always reduced to "d", no matter if it used as article, relative pronoun or demonstrative pronoun
• forms in plural get the singular form on lemma (e.g., norm: Einkäufe, lemma: Einkauf)
