The Construction Annotation Workshop 2020 aims to be a forum for the discussion of the results achieved and the challenges faced by the teams working on the Shared Task on Construction Annotation. In the task, an excerpt of translations of The Little Prince to Brazilian Portuguese, German, Japanese, Russian and Swedish, plus the English original, were annotated for constructions. Participating teams were provided with a highly flexible annotation tool, developed by the German FrameNet & Constructicon team, and were free to create the constructions they found necessary to annotate the text.
