This repository contains the main QuaDramA corpus. It is forked from GerDraCor (revision 526283b). Since then, we added a) some plays and b) various levels of annotations.
- Translations of Shakespeare plays
- Translations of Greek plays
Character relations encode the information given in the Dramatis Personae and make it machine-readable. This is mainly about family and power relations.
The following table shows an overview of the annotated sub corpus

The following relations have been annotated:
| Relation label | Directed/Undirected | Description |
|---|---|---|
parent_of |
directed | One character is a parent of the other |
lover_of |
directed | For lovers |
related_with |
directed | Other family relations (e.g. uncles) |
associated_with |
directed | For clearly associated characters (e.g., butlers) |
siblings |
undirected | Characters that have at least one parent in common |
spouses |
undirected | Characters in marriage (or engaged) |
friends |
undirected | Characters marked as being friends |
All relations are marked in XML in a <listRelation> element in the <listPerson> element. Directed relations are encoded with an active and passive attribute, where the active part is always the one in front of the relation, if expressed as a sentence. E.g., Odoardo is parent of Emilia translates to a relation
<relation name="parent_of" active="#odoardo_galotti" passive="#emilia" />
Undirected relations use the mutual attribute to list all ids in the relationship:
<relation type="personal" name="spouses" mutual="#bärbel #adam"/>
The label from the table above is given as a name.
What you really need to know about the XML structure
- Character speech is enclosed in
<sp>-tags.<sp>-tags should have awhoattribute that specifies who speaks (by listing their ids). If the character speech is in verse, it is given in lines with<l>-tags, otherwise it is in<p>-tags. - Speaker declarations are enclosed in
<speaker>-tags, and are placed within a character speech (i.e., within an<sp>-tag). - Stage directions are enclosed in
<stage>-tags, even if they are within a character speech. - Initial or concluding remarks (e.g., "Ende des Trauerspiels") are not part of a character's speech, and are enclosed in
<trailer>-tags. - Speakers ids should be declared in the header of the TEI file (i.e., not in the dramatis personae section), under
profileDesc/particDesc/listPerson. - Emphasis should be marked with
<emph>(it is often marked as<hi>, which is too generic).
