In this paper, we present the annotation scheme used in the SenSem
corpora (SSC), for Spanish and Catalan, to codify information regarding aspectuality,
modality, polarity and factuality. As regards aspectuality, the most relevant
contribution is the codi"cation of information about dynamicity, telicity and iterativity.
Regarding factuality, we present a more "ne-grained annotation of uncertainty
as applied to the identi"cation of impossible events, completely uncertain
events and neutral uncertain events. Although information about factuality in
Spanish has been provided elsewhere, the Catalan SSC is the only corpus to do so
for Catalan.
