ABSTRACT
In this paper we illustrare a research based on NLP techniques aimed at automatically annotate modificatory provisions. We propose an approach which pairs deep syntactic parsing with rule-based shallow semantic analysis relying on a fine-grained taxonomy of modificatory provisions. The implemented system is evaluated on a large dataset hand-crafted by legal experts; the results are discussed and future directions of the research outlined.
