direct-subjective

  1. annotation-uncertain - Use when you are uncertain if, in context, the word or phrase expresses a direct private state/speech event.

    Possible values: somewhat-uncertain, very-uncertain
  2. attitude-link -This contains a list of the ids of all attitudes that are associated with the private state expressed by the direct-subjective
     
  3. expression-intensity - Strength of the private state being expressed by the direct-subjective expression. To give you an idea, `said' is neutral, `thinks' is low, `criticized' or `fears' is medium, and something like `blasted' in the verbal sense is probably high.

    Possible values: neutral, low, medium, high, extreme.
     
  4. implicit - Add this feature when you annotate a (zero) span of text for an implicit speech or thought. For example, there may be quoted speech without a "said" where the speaker is implicit from the previous sentence. In this case, make the first quote or word at the beginning a direct-subjective and use this feature. 
  5. insubstantial - Use when the private state/speech event is not significant or not particular, based on the criteria for significant and particular in the annotation instructions. Type in all criteria that it fails to pass: c1 and/or c2 and/or c3.
  6. intensity - The overall strength of the private state being expressed. Think of this as the union of the intensity of the expressions plus the strength of the private state being expressed by the expressive- subjective elements.

    Possible values: neutral, low, medium, high, extreme
     
  7. nested-source - Agent that is the source of the private state/speech event. It is a list of agent ids beginning with the writer and ending with the id for the immediate agent being referenced.
  8. polarity - New attribute for marking the polarity of the expression, in context, according to the nested-source.

    Possible values: negative, positive, both, neutral, uncertain-negative, uncertain-positive, uncertain-both, uncertain-neutral
     
  9. subjective-uncertain- Use when you are uncertain, in context, whether the word or phrase ought not to be treated as an objective-speech event.
  10. attitude-toward* - This feature is no longer used. It was used for cases where there was a negative/positive attitude being expressed and the attitude was being directed toward an agent. In that case this feature received the id of the relevant agent.
  11. target-speech-link*- Deprecated.
