Annotation of "therefore" #52

Closed mgeorgescu closed 11 years ago

mgeorgescu commented 11 years ago

There have been different approaches to annotating "therefore" > infer-01 OR conclude-01 OR cause-01? Depending on situation, can we go to the most appropriate choice?

China is a traditional ally and supplier of food and fuel to North Korea China and is therefore the country with the most leverage over North Korea.

(a / and

  :op1 (s / supply-01

        :ARG0 (c / country :name (n / name :op1 "China"))

The issue therefore does not concern some opinions that provoke waves of objection , but rather it fundamentally concerns a vision of the role of the Church , its ideology , and its universal message .

Therefore , I call upon the citizens in general , and those of al - Matn in particular , to show their support for the Lebanese Army through civilized and democratic behavior as is their habit in this area .

To capture the meaning of therefore, we have precedents for both cause-01 (more common) and infer-01 (less common). It would be great if annotators could stick to these two, choosing between the two based on context. In your last example, I would go with cause-01.

We'll try to advise annotators to choose from "cause-01" and "infer-01".
