Bridging Sentential and Discourse-level Semantics through Clausal Adjuncts
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is in PropBank’s ARGM annotation of clausal adjuncts that sentential semantics meets discourse relation annotation in the Penn Discourse TreeBank. This paper discusses complementarities between the two annotation systems: How PropBank ARGM annotation can be used to seed annotation of additional discourse relations in the PDTB, and how PDTB annotation can be used to refine or enrich PropBank ARGM annotation.

What are Little Texts Made Of? A Structural and Presuppositional Account Using Lexicalised TAG
In a series of recent papers (Cristea and Webber, 1997; Webber and Joshi, 1998; Webber et al., 1999a; Webber et al., 1999b), we have argued for starting the analysis of discourse in the same way as one starts the analysis of a clause, looking at how its syntax and semantics project from the lexicon. This is complementary to the issue of discourse pragmatics – how these small syntactic units of ...
متن کاملSentential Structure And Discourse Parsing
In this paper, we describe how the LIDAS System (Linguistic Discourse Analysis System), a discourse parser built as an implementation of the Unified Linguistic Discourse Model (U-LDM) uses information from sentential syntax and semantics along with lexical semantic information to build the Open Right Discourse Parse Tree (DPT) that serves as a representation of the structure of the discourse (P...
متن کاملReference and Representation
Research on the semantics of inter-sentential anaphoric relationships in the eighties has led to a debate about the question whether some level of representation is indispensable in the analysis of the semantics of natural language. Within the logically oriented or model-theoretic tradition of natural language semantics, Hans Kamp is a prominent proponent of the thesis that it is; Jeroen Groene...
متن کاملGeneralized Quantifiers in Declarative and Interrogative Sentences
In this paper we present a logical system able to compute the semantics of both declarative and interrogative sentences. Our proposed analysis takes place at both the sentential and at the discourse level. We use syntactic inference on the sentential level for declarative sentences, while the discourse level comes into play for our treatment of questions. Our formalisation uses a type logic sen...
متن کاملA Discourse-Annotated Corpus of Conjoined VPs
English grammars indicate a variety of relations holding between conjoined VPs. VPs conjoined by and evince such senses as Result, Temporal Sequence and Concession. Although all these senses are ones associated with discourse relations, conjoined VPs have not been fully included in discourse annotation. Because of the value of discourse-annotated corpora for developing approaches to automated s...
