Abstract

The overarching theme of our project is the analysis of the linguistic realizations of religious metaphors. We assume that such realizations are characterized by specific syntactic and semantic relations. To investigate these relations, we annotate data with suitable information on standardized or self-defined annotation levels. This article asks the question of how self-defined annotation levels can be represented in a suitable form. In our case, we are dealing with annotations that involve directed relations (pointers). First, three alternatives as to how such data can be represented in an annotation tool and their advantages and disadvantages are presented. Second, possible formats for further analysis are addressed. Several options are discussed as to how relational information can be suitably represented in a simple column format. Redundant formats are particularly suitable for simplifying further processing.
