Discourse Segment Type vs. Linguistic Features

1. Ten full-text papers in biology were annotated, see 170220_deWaard_Corpus for full references. The papers were selected according to three criteria: 1.1. Papers related to the Voorhoeve paper (Voorhoeve). (*) 1.2. Papers regarding neuropharmacology (Neuro). (**) 1.3. Papers from the Genia corpus (Genia). (***) 2. The papers were obtained by downloading the html and converted into text and then copied into an Excel spreadsheet. 3. Each paper was annotated as follows: 3.1. The first letter of the first author name was added (column 1) 3.2. The papers were (manually) split into discourse segments, as described in [2] 3.3. The section names were added; 3.4. Segment types were identified, according to the categories defined in [2]; 3.5. Verb tense/modality/voice was annotated, according to the categories defined in [2]; 3.6. Verb class was added from a taxonomy described in [3]; 3.7. Modality features were added according to categories described in [4]; 4. The final results with the text enclosed can be found in the file 170220_deWaard_DST_With_Text 5. The final results with only numerical results, for ease of statistical processing, can be found in the files 170220_deWaard_DST_Codes 6. The CodeBook describing the map of the numerical results to the values can be found in the file 170220_deWaard_Value_Labels [2] de Waard, A. and Pander Maat, H. (2009).
