6. METHODS 1) Annotation
2) Abstraction
3) Analysis
METHODS

7. Annotation consists of the application of a scheme to
texts.
Annotations may include structural mark-up, part-of-
speech tagging, parsing, and numerous other
representations.
1) ANNOTATION

8. Abstraction consists of the translation (mapping) of
terms in the scheme to terms in a theoretically
motivated model or dataset.
It typically includes linguist-directed search but may
include e.g., rule-learning for parsers.
2) ABSTRACTION

9. Analysis consists of statistically probing, manipulating
and generalising from the dataset.
Might include statistical evaluations, optimisation of
rule-bases or knowledge discovery methods.
3) ANALYSIS
