All involve expressions of opinion, but while our category specifications focus on evidentiality in text, theirs focus on how conversational participants interact with one another in dialog. Table 1 presents data for two judges. The rows correspond to the tags assigned by judge 1 and the columns correspond to the tags assigned by judge 2. Let nij denote the number of sentences that judge 1 classifies as i and judge 2 classifies as j, and let/~ij be the probability that a randomly selected sentence is categorized as i by judge 1 and j by judge 2. Then, the maximum likelihood estimate of 15ij is ~ where n_l_ + , n++ = ~ij nij = 504. Table ration , in which certainty ratings 0 and 1 are combined and ratings 2 and 3 are combined. Note that the analyses described in this section cannot be performed on the two-category data configuration (in which the certainty ratings are not considered), due to insufficient degrees of freedom (Bishop et al., 1975) . Table 1 can be found in the marginal totals, ni+ and n+j. We see that judge 1 has a relative preference, or bias, for objective, while judge 2 has a bias for subjective. Relative bias is one aspect of agreement among judges. A second is whether the judges' disagreements are systematic, that is, correlated. One pattern of systematic disagreement is symmetric disagreement. When disagreement is symmetric, the differences between the actual counts, and the counts expected if the judges' decisions were not correlated, are symmetric; that is, 5n~j = 5n~i for i ~ j, where 5ni~ is the difference from independence.", |

As an extreme example, judge 1 may assign the subjective tag whenever judge 2 assigns the objective tag.
