Introduction
AttImam was developed by Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University and consists of approximately 2,000 attribution relations applied to Arabic newswire text from Arabic Treebank: Part 1 v 4.1 (LDC2010T13). Attribution refers to the process of reporting or assigning an utterance to the correct speaker.
Data
The source Arabic newswire was collected by the Linguistic Data Consortium from Agence France Presse articles published in 2000. Annotation was performed by two native Arabic speakers. Each file has the following four elements:
- Cue: the lexical anchor that connects the source with the content.
- Source: the entity or the agent that owns the content.
- Content: the basic element expressing the claim or the reported news.
- General Features: these can include such features as attribution style (direct or indirect), determinacy (factual or non-factual), and purpose (e.g., assertion, expression).
The corpus contains 532 files in UTF-8 encoded plain text. Also included are annotation guidelines and the ESNAD (Extracting Sentence Attribution in Arabic Discourse) annotation tool.
