Natural language allows for efficient communication of elaborate descriptions of movement without requiring precise specification of the motion. Interpreting Motion is the first book to analyze the semantics of motion expressions in terms of the formalisms of qualitative spatial reasoning, mapping motion descriptions in language to trajectories of moving entities based on qualitative spatio-temporal relationships. The book provides an extensive discussion of prior research on spatial prepositions and motion verbs, and devotes chapters to the compositional semantics of motion sentences, the formal representations needed for computers to reason qualitatively about time, space, and motion, and the methodology for annotating corpora with linguistic information in order to train computer programs to reproduce the annotation. The applications they illustrate include route navigation, the mapping of travel narratives, question-answering, image and video tagging, and graphical rendering of scenes from textual descriptions. The book is written accessibly for a broad scientific audience of linguists, cognitive scientists, computer scientists, and those working in fields such as artificial intelligence and geographic information systems.Less

The first part of this chapter considers whether the returns to the 1279–80 hundred roll inquiry were put to any use during the Middle Ages. It examines the significance of annotations, and considers whether or not the returns were used for quo warranto purposes or scutage liability. It raises the possibility that the extent of ecclesiastical holdings revealed in the returns contributed to the enactment of the Statute of Mortmain. The second part of the chapter evaluates the evidence to be found in the rolls and describes the different ways in which modern historians have used them.Less

Semantic Annotation examines three annotation schemes that derive from the qualitative models discussed in Chapter 3: TimeML, SpatialML, and ISO‐Space, for time, space, and motion, respectively. For each, the authors discuss the cross‐linguistic applicability of the guidelines and the reliability of human annotation, illustrate the statistical machine learning algorithms trained on annotated corpora together with their evaluation methods and results, and assess the challenges that arise in integrating these statistical methods with the formal models and algorithms discussed in Chapter 3. The authors also discuss the key problems in producing training data of sufficient quality and quantity as well as the need for additional evaluation metrics and experimental results.Less

This introductory chapter locates the book's project in historical, critical, and methodological terms. It situates the history of Jonson's reception against those of his peers, surveys and reviews earlier scholarly work in the field, and argues for a mixed methodology that incorporates literary response to Jonson alongside a bibliographical or ‘history of the book’ understanding of his texts and their forms. Using the figure of Jonson's real or apparent marginality in the Romantic Age, the chapter argues that understanding Jonson in this period might be a way of thinking again about our ideas of the romantic itself.Less

There have been two major developments in recent years which bring the problems of annotation to the forefront of critical attention. The first is a growing awareness of the theoretical problems of annotation in the light of modern literary theory; and the second is the development of the electronic hypertext which has promised easier access to a larger quantity of annotation than has been possible in the traditionally printed book. This chapter considers annotation as it has traditionally been practised in the light of these challenges, modern literary theory and the electronic hypertext. It suggests that one of the aims of annotation is to remove obscurity. The annotator will recognise different sorts of obscurity to the text, others the result of the reader's experience.Less

This chapter places psychiatric ethics within professional and biomedical ethics more generally, and introduces the “role morality” notion: that some ethical imperatives derive from particular social roles. Some differences between psychiatry and other medical practices are illustrated through three issues: questions of patient autonomy, rules governing the ‘boundaries’ around the therapeutic relationship, and concerns over psychiatric diagnostic categories. Building on previous work in biomedical ethics, the authors adopt the methodology employed in the American Psychiatric Association's Annotations with Particular Application to Psychiatry (2001), which identifies the ethical implications of particular features distinctive to the practice of psychiatry. When practiced with severely ill patients, it is asserted, psychiatry makes extra ethical demands on practitioners.Less

It outlines the parameters for the selection of sample texts and the annotation scheme in a detailed fashion. The chapter further discusses and critically reflects methodological caveats related to the size of the corpus, the selection of texts, and the manual annotation procedure.Less

This chapter provides an analysis of the prosodic and intonational structure of Greek within the autosegmental/metrical framework of intonational phonology, and presents Greek ToBI (GRToBI), a system for the annotation of Greek spoken corpora based on this analysis. Both the analysis and the annotation system have largely been developed on the basis of a corpus of spoken Greek. The analysis posits five pitch accents (H*, L*, H*+L, L*+H, L+H*), and two levels of phrasing, the intermediate phrase (ip) and the intonational phrase (IP), which are tonally demarcated by three types of phrase accent (H-, L-, !H-) and three types of boundary tone (H%, L%, !H %) respectively. Unlike the original ToBI, GRToBI has five tiers: the Tone Tier, the Words Tier, the Break Index Tier, the Miscellaneous Tier, and the Prosodic Words Tier (a phonetic transcription of prosodic words).Less

This chapter introduces the C-ToBI (Cantonese Tones and Break Indices) conventions for modern Cantonese. These conventions are designed for use in annotating tone and juncture phenomena in spoken Cantonese corpora. Tone and juncture phenomena of special interest for prosodic typology include: the rather strict monosyllabicity of Cantonese word forms; the absence of contrast between ‘stressed’ and reduced (‘neutral tone’) syllables; and the extremely dense syntagmatic tonal specification, including non-segmental boundary tones. All three characteristics set Cantonese apart from Mandarin Chinese. Another phenomenon of interest is that, despite the existence of syllable fusion in Cantonese, there seems to be no reliable categorical markings of intermediate levels of prosodic grouping between the syllable and the intonational phrase. The C-ToBI conventions proposed here are intended to facilitate the development of the large prosodically-annotated speech corpora that are needed to address these issues and the many questions concerning the prosodic structure of modern Cantonese.Less

This chapter examines the intonation of a number of varieties of Italian (those spoken in Naples, Bari, Palermo, and Florence) with the goal of establishing a common framework for annotating the prosodic phenomena that have been studied so far. In particular, it describes the pitch accent inventory for each variety, showing a number of common traits, such as the use of a specific nuclear pitch accent type used to mark contrastive narrow focus as opposed to broad focus in declaratives. It also discusses the evidence for two levels of phrasing and provides a non-positional definition for the nuclear pitch accent, which is marked with a special flag since it can be followed by further pitch accents and phrase accents. Finally, it discusses the issues of downstep and the partial realization, or truncation, of phrase-final pitch contours.Less

For a year and a half Faraday's essay-circle met regularly to read aloud and criticize one another's writings. The ‘Mental Exercises’ they produced are a record of the life, literary tastes, and social and political ideas of Dissenting artisans in Regency London. This book publishes the essays and poems produced by Faraday's circle.

Keats’ medical Notebook is the only autograph manuscript detailing his medical studies during his formative period training at Guy’s Hospital, 1815–17, and this fully annotated edition of it has been newly transcribed and edited from the manuscript. The edition takes care to indicate the distinctive layout of Keats’ medical Notebook, as well as other details of bibliographic interest, offering a faithful reproduction of its contents. Editorial interventions are kept to a minimum, with the bulk of annotation and commentary restricted to the footnotes. The annotations offer contextual information, with the aim of providing sufficient context to make the notes comprehensible for readers without specialized medical knowledge: they are intended as sign-posts to assist understanding, pointing to sources of more detailed information.Less

Ashley Reed describes her work with students to create an annotated online edition of a nineteenth-century scrapbook by Prudence Person, a member of a prominent North Carolina family. She outlines the lessons she learned as the project progressed from its first phase in a classroom of nineteen students to an independent study with only two. When the smaller group integrated more field-specific knowledge, the students and the project thrived: they visited historic sites, presented at undergraduate research forums, and took ownership of the content. Reed addresses the difficulties and benefits of launching a context-rich DH project in a general education classroom, and she imagines its future iteration as the centerpiece of an intensive upper-level course on nineteenth-century print culture.Less

The footnote, once considered the treasure of a special artistic talent—the inscription on the pedestal of a monument—has sunk in reputation to a bauble dropped to the bottom of a scholar's page or tossed onto a heap at the back of a book. And yet a note, whether an expository addendum to a text, an annotation, or a reference, exhibits an intriguingly complex set of possible relationships with the text to which it refers. When the work in question is Ulysses and the medium is digital, a rethinking of the entire question of notes and annotations becomes possible, even necessary.Less

Montaigne’s English Journey examines the genesis, early readership, and multifaceted impact of John Florio’s exuberant translation of Michel de Montaigne’s Essays. Published in London in 1603, this book was widely read in seventeenth-century England: Shakespeare borrowed from it as he drafted King Lear and The Tempest, and many hundreds of English men and women first encountered Montaigne’s tolerant outlook and disarming candour in its densely-printed pages. Literary historians have long been fascinated by the influence of Florio’s translation, analysing its contributions to the development of the English essay and tracing its appropriation in the work of Webster, Dryden, and other major writers. William M. Hamlin, by contrast, undertakes an exploration of Florio’s Montaigne within the overlapping realms of print and manuscript culture, assessing its importance from the varied perspectives of its earliest English readers. Drawing on letters, diaries, commonplace books, and thousands of marginal annotations inscribed in surviving copies of Florio’s volume, Hamlin offers a comprehensive account of the transmission and reception of Montaigne in seventeenth-century England. In particular he focuses on topics that consistently intrigued Montaigne’s English readers: sexuality, marriage, conscience, theatricality, scepticism, self-presentation, the nature of wisdom, and the power of custom. All in all, Hamlin’s study constitutes a major contribution to investigations of literary readership in pre-Enlightenment Europe.Less

The sixth chapter illustrates how the automatic annotation of the different modes of speech, writing, and thought presentation in 19th-century narrative fiction may be performed on the basis of repetitive lexico-grammatical features and by setting up rules based on the manual annotation of the corpus and facilitating it in larger data sets. The chapter proposes a number of formal diagnostic features for the identification of discourse presentation as well as procedures to help their automatic detection. The procedures described serve as basis for a tool for the automatic identification of discourse presentation which can be adopted to programs like Wmatrix (Rayson 2018) and WordSmith Tools (Scott 2017). The chapter furthermore critically reflects on the limits of automated procedures and the necessity to manually check the annotations and include contextual information for unambiguous identification of different types of discourse presentation.Less

The Introduction to Montaigne's English Journey lays out the book's investigative procedures and methodology. Relying on more than seven thousand seventeenth-century manuscript annotations inscribed in the margins of early copies of Florio's Montaigne, William Hamlin offers a descriptive account of the reception of Montaigne by English readers from about 1595 to 1700. This account also incorporates manuscript material from letters, diaries, and commonplace books, and in particular it showcases a newly-discovered English translation of portions of the Essays—a translation dating from about 1650. Hamlin illustrates the predominant forms of English response to Montaigne, and he contextualizes this body of response within current scholarly conversations regarding the nature of early modern reading.Less
