Assumption Underlying Discourse Relations: Which Ones Are Really There And Where Are They?

The second assumption is that these relations only operate at the clause level and above. These are best exeml)lified by Rhetorical Structure Theory (Mann & Tholnpson 1987), I)ut appear to some degree in ahnost all approaches to discourse. In what follows, we make three points:
