A New Annotation Scheme for the Semantics of Taste

AbstractThis paper introduces a new annotation scheme for the semantics of gustatory language in English, which builds upon a previous framework for olfactory language based on frame semantics. The purpose of this annotation framework is to be used for annotating comparable resources for the study of sensory language and to create training datasets for supervised systems aimed at extracting sensory information. Furthermore, our approach incorporates words from specific historical periods, thereby enhancing the framework’s utility for studying language from a diachronic perspective.
