SUMMARY:Pragmatics meets NLP: automatic detection of communicative intentio
 ns in Spanish tweets through the Speech Act Theory
DESCRIPTION:The high performance shown by the latest language models create
 d inside the Natural Language Processing (NLP) research area has made thes
 e multi-level linguistic approaches to the representation of languages bec
 ome a scientific hot spot. Nevertheless\, those NLP systems arguably tend 
 to set aside the pragmatic level of language due to the added difficulties
  this linguistic sphere shows\, i.e.\, cultural context\, communicative in
 tentions\, or implicit information and sarcasm\, to name but a few. To boo
 st the inclusion of such parameters in NLP systems to obtain more fine-gra
 ined tools with further linguistic knowledge\, in this talk we will introd
 uce the annotation scheme we have created following the Speech Act Theory 
 (Austin\, 1962\; Searle\, 1969\;1975) to detect the communicative intentio
 n of a given message in Spanish from the social network Twitter. Thanks to
  this annotation scheme\, and with the ongoing collaboration with the LISN
  research group\, we aim to find out up to which point intentions can be d
 etected automatically by a language training model\, as well as to check h
 ow other NLP tasks such as sentiment analysis can contribute to the detect
 ion of the intention of a message. By adding such pragmatic information in
 to the system\, NLP tools would be able to identify and reproduce the ling
 uistic features that depict the natural essence of language\, therefore ac
 hieving one of the main objectives of this research area.
