MO – summary

MO is structurally <strong>underuse</strong>d by the learners
• further research: why is MO difficult?
‣ semantics: now we would have to look at different

German middle field – further research
‣ categorial effect: does the complexity of categories

summary
• all annotation is interpretation
‣ make interpretation explicit and visible
• for many research questions it is necessary to
look at a combination of factors
• syntactic annotation helps us in finding
acquisition patterns that combine lexical,
categorial, topological and functional properties
‣ multi-layer architecture, many formats, powerful
search tools
