This paper presents clause boundaries and class annotation on the `Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese'. The annotation is based on the Tori-Bank labelset, which provides the most fine-grained clause classes. We reformulated the legacy syntactic pattern into a syntactic-dependency-based pattern. Two annotators modified the automatically extracted clause boundary candidates. In this study, we investigate the patterns of disagreement in the annotation.} url={http://lrec-conf.org/workshops/lrec2018/W29/pdf/4_W29.pdf} }
