Annotating a corpus means adding one or more layers of linguistic interpretation to raw data. Annotations added can be of very diverse natures: they can be morpho-syntactic categories, semantic or discursive annotations, but also, in the case of oral or multi-modal corpora, information on prosody, gestures, etc.
Annotations are performed during annotation campaigns by human annotators, more or less expert, who rely on an annotation guide.
