This paper introduces our methodology for annotating variations in enunciative and modal commitment in a text. We first present the theoretical background of the study which puts the emphasis on the close interaction between time, aspect, modality and evidentiality (TAME) categories (and also markers). We then present our semantic resources which encompass not only lexical items, but also morphological inflections and syntactic constructions. We finally describe the first step of our global natural language processing (NLP) workflow which uses a syntactic analysis parser.
