  text: This paper presents the various sources of uncertainty we encounter in our
    project. Our research focus lies on the investigation of language elaboration
    processes in Middle Low German. We are particularly interested in diachronic constructional
    changes and constructionalizations involving and affecting all linguistic dimensions.
    For this, it is necessary to annotate our corpus with Part-of-Speech and constructional
    tags. Here, we are confronted with gradualness, gradience, and ambiguity as potential
    sources of uncertainty that complicate the annotation process. Furthermore, due
    to the historicity of the investigated language, we expect cases of incomplete
    knowledge and comparative fallacy from the annotators. For this reason, we develop
    an interface that captures all annotators’ doubts.
