This paper explores the possibilities and limits of a discourse grammar applied to spontaneous speech. Most discourse grammars (e.g. SDRT, Asher, 1993; RST, Mann & Thompson, 1988) tend to be descriptive theories of written discourse which presuppose a coherent structure. This structure is the outcome of a goal directed planning process on the part of the producer. In order to obtain a better un...

The experimental results demonstrate that our model ...

We discuss similarities and differences between our approach and the PDTB paradigm and point out the peculiarities of spontaneous dialogs w...
