Discourse Structuring Questions and Scalar Implicatures
In this paper we discuss the interdependence of scalar implicatures and discourse structuring questions. We show that even prototypical cases of scalar implicatures can depend on an explicitly or implicitly given Question under Discussion. Particularly, we argue against the idea that scalar implicatures are automatically generated by the logical form of an utterance. We distinguish between thre...
متن کاملComputing Presuppositions and Implicatures in Mathematical Discourse
In any well-written mathematical discourse a certain amount of mathematical and meta-mathematical knowledge is presupposed and implied. We give an account on presuppositions and implicatures in mathematical discourse and describe an architecture that allows to effectively interpret them. Our approach heavily relies on proof methods that capture common patterns of argumentation in mathematical d...
متن کاملDiscourse Plans, Intented Eeects and the Generation of Implicatures
A number of systems have been developed for discourse generation that use hierarchical planning techniques to generate discourse plans [Appelt 1983,Cawsey 1993,Maybury 1992,Hovy 1991,Moore and Paris 1993]. These plan-based approaches provide various solutions to the problems of content and structure determination: what communicative acts should appear in a discourse plan, what are the relations...
متن کاملDiscourse Relations and Relevance Implicatures: A Case Study
In this paper, we discuss dependencies between rhetorical discourse structure and relevance implicatures. We follow [3] and infer relevance implicatures from the assumption that an answer provides optimal information for solving an explicitly or implicitly given decision problem of the inquirer. Such a decision problem can be identified with a question raised in the conversation. Background que...
متن کاملDiscourse Relations, Discourse Structure, Discourse Semantics
It is generally accepted that a discourse connective expresses a semantic and/or pragmatic relation between its matrix sentence or clause and something in the previous discourse. Usually the sense of this relation is expressed as a label, often within a hierarchy of sense labels. But the meaning of these labels may vary from system to system, and the same connective may be assigned different la...
