What is the best approach to determining clusivity in English texts?
$begingroup$
The problem is fairly simple: linguistically, how can we build a model to infer whether a given use of "we" (first person plural) implies including or excluding the listener/recipient? For example:
"We apologize for the inconvenience"
Versus
"We should apologize for the inconvenience"
The first means "we" on behalf of an organization, the second means "we" to include the recipient. There's a good Wikipedia page on the topic, because it's a well-known feature in other languages, but not most European ones.
I've not built this model, yet, but I can't find anyone else who has either, and yet it's an important factor for some of the analyses that I am working on.
What are the best approaches to this particular problem? Is there any prior work?
