Abstract

This article aims at presenting our ongoing work on the construction of a Chinese corpus in which the credibility of textual information is annotated. The linguistic markers of evidentiality in each sentence are identified as cues of credibility. We annotated both the scale and scope of the evidential markers. The annotated corpus can serve as a data basis for the research of information credibility. In this article, we analyze the theoretical underpinnings of our preliminary annotation guideline and the considerations on the choice of texts. Also, we discuss the possible hierarchy of evidentiality annotation.
