Annotation Mode: Manual (The corpus was automatically annotated with morpho-syntactic information using the LX-Suite (available at: http://lxcenter/services/en/LXServicesSuite.html). In a second step, in each sentence with a definition structure, the term defined, the definition, and the connector were manually annotated using a different XML tag, markedTerm, connector, and markedTerm, respectively, with the assignment of the information about the type of definition. The definition typology is made of four different classes whose members were tagged with is_def, for copula definitions, verb_def, for verbal non copula definitions, punct_def, for definitions whose connector is a punctuation mark, and finally other_def, for all the remaining definitions.)
