Using our quotation rule on the <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="italic">Kerncorpus</hi> resulted in a dataset where about 36% of tokens were marked as direct speech. In order to assess the quality of these weak labels, we gave 500 of the sentences to domain experts for manual correction. We found that there was an error-rate of about 3% in those sentences, mostly caused by nested direct speech or inscriptions being enclosed by quotation marks.
