[Apologies if you get this twice - I sent it earlier to people
who have carried out annotations.]

I want to provide some feedback on where we have got to
in the Japanese sentence annotation exercise. It's still
going, although it's slowed down a lot, and I need to
keep it moving.

Of the 2,000 sentences, 749 have been completely processed,
i.e. checked and possibly annotated by two (or more)
people. Of the remaining 1,251, 621 have been checked by one
person (me), and 631 have not been marked yet. I am pushing
on with them, but I really need people to join in. The field
is clear - the 1,251 remaining have not been marked  by
anyone but me.

[For interest, of the 749 that have been cleared, 222 had
no additional lexemes, in 315 there were extra lexemes that
both annotators agreed about, and in 212 the annotators
disagreed and I need to organize an adjudication.]

In coming weeks I will continue both to be first annotator
of as-yet unmarked sentences, and I can be second annotator
when others mark a sentence. (I have scripts monitoring this.)

I know this is an imposition, but I hope people can find the
time to look at some more sentences.
