NP- and clause-evaluation from Kleist‘s “The Earthquake in Chili”, INCEpTION text-annotation environment. My transl: 1) “The young sinner was brought, regardless of her condition”; 2) “She walked bravely from street to street with her booty, removing the misery from her chest.” (The irony tag is by default “-“ [false] and can be used to mark ironic evaluations or encodings.)

Figure 2
Literary encodings from Thomas Mann’s “With the Prophet”, Hermann Hesse’s “Steppenwolf” and Joseph Roth’s “The Silent Prophet”, INCEpTION text-annotation environment. My transl: 1) “He wore a frock coat and gloves, determined to behave as if he were in church.” Might that which is claimed about the “suicides” in the Steppenwolf book be this way or another, no one could deny me the pleasure to spare myself, with the help of carbon gas, razorblade or pistol, the repetition of a process the bitter pain of which I have truly had to suffer frequently and deeply.” 2) “He saw the theaters, on whose stages a piece of life is portrayed pointedly and cut into acts by people in pink make-up, against Entree.”

Figure 3
Example of a value opposition from Kleist’s “The Earthquake in Chili”, INCEpTION text-annotation environment. My transl.: “here was a courageous savior trying to help; here stood another, pale as death, stretching speechless, trembling hands to the sky.”
