This paper presents a novel word granularity-aware annotation framework for Chinese. Anchored in current functionalist linguistics, this model rearranges the boundary of word segmentation and linguistic annotation, and gears toward a deeper understanding of lexical units and their behavior. The web-based annotation UI also supports flexible annotation tasks for various linguistic and affective phenomena.
