Abstract
The Dialogue Annotation and Research Tool (DART) is a freeware tool that makes it possible to annotate large amounts of dialogue data semi-automatically on a number of linguistic levels, as well as post-process and analyse the resulting corpora efficiently using various corpus analysis methods (https://martinweisser.org/ling_soft.html#DARThttps://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmartinweisser.org%2Fling_soft.html%23DART&data=05%7C01%7CGabrielc%40edgehill.ac.uk%7C991f4d5dfd3d4cbbe30a08dacbb6215e%7C093586914d8e491caa760a5cbd5ba734%7C0%7C0%7C638046280984579628%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8E5hvbzN%2B7DEW70gAEZnnsf9Lj7A2dCwZ2PpmAa3fIU%3D&reserved=0).
Perhaps arguably, the most interesting and important levels of analysis produced by the tool from the point of view of corpus pragmatics are the syntactic and the speech-act level, but DART annotations also comprise information about the semantics (topics), semantico-pragmatic (modes; Searle's IFIDs), surface polarity, (completion) status, and disfluency of units.
In this talk, I want to begin by providing a brief overview of the background, genesis and development of the tool. Next, we'll discuss the different levels of annotation, their potential significance in pragmatics, and how they may work together in determining the pragmatic meaning potential in the form of speech acts. I'll then briefly illustrate how it's possible to adapt the resources used for the annotation process to new domains, as well as the steps involved in the annotation process itself. And last, but not least, we'll explore the different analysis options related to speech acts and other patterns the tool has to offer.
