We invite the community to participate in a text labelling Shared Task
regarding the segmentation of statements in German Easy Language
(STaGE), co-located at KONVENS 2024 [1] in Vienna, Austria.

Motivation:
Assessing the complexity of sentences is still an object of ongoing
research. One aspect of sentence complexity is the number of statements.
Knowing the different statements conveyed in a sentence is important for
numerous NLP tasks, such as extracting the different statements to
further simplify the original sentence by separating it into
statement-reduced sentences. Another use case is in-depth fact-checking
of the isolated statements or the readability evaluation of the text in
accordance with Easy Languages guidelines.
However, for German, there exists no implementation to extract
statements automatically. Our shared task aims to analyze and annotate
the number of statements in German Easy language (DE: "Leichte Sprache")
texts. We have decided on German Easy Language, since this language
variety recommends the usage of sentences with a reduced number of
statements. Therefore, it profits from the results and automated
analysis implemented in our task.
