The aim of the task is to promote the development and evaluation of systems for identifying negation cues in Spanish. Negation cues could be simple, if they were expressed by a single token (e.g., “no” [no/not], “sin” [without]), continuous, if they were composed of a sequence of two or more contiguous tokens (e.g., “ni siquiera” [not even], “sin ningun” [without any]), or discontinuous, if they consisted of a sequence of two or more non-contiguous tokens (e.g., “no...apenas” [not...hardly], “no...nada” [not...nothing]).
