Bukkene Bruse (69)

Bukkene Bruse is the first text that we annotated together using the new set of tags (Do we have a source for these tags?).

I thought it might be a good idea to copy most of the tags (and mostly in the way we did it) back into the text in order to get a better idea of the text's discourse structure. This is what I got:

First Attempt

De tre bukkene Bruse på hockey. ASSERT Det var en gang tre bukker som skulle til seters å gjøre seg fete, SPECIFICATION (BUKKER) og alle tre så het de bukkene Bruse. SPECIFICATION (SETER) På veien var det en bro over en foss, ASSERT SPECIFICATION (BRO) og under den broen så bodde et stort, fælt troll. ASSERT Men den største bukken hadde hørt at en splitter ny, ultramega, giga, super ishockeyhallen



Not annotated Så sa han det til de andre, så sa den mellomste bukken, kan vi dra dit, vær så snill snille bror. Ja, det kan vi godt, sa den største bukken. Yes, sa den mellomste bukken. Men, sa den minste bukken.



EVALUATION (ISHOCKEYHALL) Jeg har hørt at det lukter så fælt der inne. OPPOSITION Samma det, sa den største bukken. JUSTIFICATION Vi er ikke super-luktere heller. 

SEQUENCEtemp Så når de (BUKKER) hadde gått 5, 32, 51, 63 nanometer  SEQUENCE så møter de (BUKKER) hockeyspillerne Sidney Crosby og Mats Zuccarello Aasen SPECIFICATION (Aasen) som er skadet. Han (Aasen) skadet håndleddet.


INITIATIVE Så sier Zucca, vi kan spille mot hverandre. RESPONSE Ja, sier Crosby. RESULT NHL-gutt vinner 1st 65-3, 2nd 21, 3rd 250-2. EVALUATE Looser, sier Crosby til den minste bukken.  ASSERTnarrative CONTRAST Men så kommer trollet og knuser det isfylte og brede anlegget i 80 biter. SEQUENCE Så hooker trollet ned Zucca så han brekker det andre håndleddet, som det første. SEQUENCE Så fikk trollet 2 min utvisning for interference, SPECIFICATION (Interference) som er å takle noen som ikke har pucken. SEQUENCE Så må Zucca på sykehus med jagerfly. CONTRAST Men sykepleierne greier ikke å pleie han, RESULT så er karrieren slutt for Zucca. ASSERTnarrative Når det dramatiske fallet skjedde SUPPLEMENT den 27. jan og det var den 30. jan SEQUENCE RESULT så ble Zucca frisk igjen, SEQUENCE LIST RESULT og så ble Crosby frisk igjen. SEQUENCE CONTRAST Så rev trollet ut innmaten, pirket ut øynene og drepte Crosby. Ha, ha, ha. Snipp snapp snute så var eventyret ute.

Discourse Structure

From our annotations it might seem that our discourse relations are flat structures, but that is not the case. The following representation gives a first impression of the the texts narrative structure is given in Figure1:

The text contains three main assertions which provide the top layer of the narration that unfolds. The first assertion (ASSERT1) is of a more descriptive nature. It introduces main locations and characters: the bor and the bukkene for example. ASSERT2 and 3 are narrative in nature and contain SEQUENCES as well as SPECIFICATIONS of some locations terms and characters. These SPECIFICATIONS are subordinate. More rhetorical figures follow:
  • INITIATE, RESULT, EVALUATE or
  • EVALUATE, OPPOSITION, JUSTIFICATION

These structures are embedded under ASSERT3.
