critical analysis of power discourse in zeinab habash’s poems discourse analysis is a modern approach which flourishing and growing in the context of postmodernism. norman fairclough’s three-dimensional framework in critical discourse analysis is one of the most practical aspects of this theory that includes analysis of (spoken or written) language texts, analysis of discourse practice (process...

We present an implementation of a discourse parsing system for a lexicalized Tree-Ajoining Grammar for discourse, specifying the integration of sentence and discourse level processing. Our system is based on the assumption that the compositional aspects of semantics at the discourse-level parallel those at the sentence-level. This coupling is achieved by factoring away inferential semantics and...

We propose d-stag, a new formalism for the automatic analysis of discourse. The analyses computed by d-stag are hierarchical discourse structures annotated with discourse relations, which are compatible with discourse structures computed in sdrt. A discursive stag grammar pairs up trees anchored by discourse connectives with trees anchored by (functors associated with) discourse relations.

There is a long history of research conducted on memory systems and processes of persons with mental retardation. In fact, the relation between memory ability and general intellectual ability was part of many of the earliest intelligence tests (see Estes, 1982). In terms of basic memory systems, researchers have evaluated the performance of persons with mental retardation relative to persons wi...

While it is common in social epistemology, philosophy of education and sociology to speak theoretical knowledge, the concept knowledge used ordinary discourse has not been properly examined, its relations other types remain unclear. This article argues that this language notion a distinct meaning different from meanings terms for types, example, knowledge-that, meta-cognitive provides an analys...

Text complexity can be reduced by making different choices at the lexical and grammatical levels. However, discourse-level choices may also affect a text’s complexity. In a coherent text, explicit discourse relations (e.g. CAUSE, CONDITION) are expressed using discourse markers (e.g. since, because, etc.) that may be preferred for texts at different readability levels. In this paper, we investi...

At present, discourse parsing is an important research topic. Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) is one of the most popular approaches in this field. In general, discourse parsing includes three stages: discourse segmentation, discourse relations detection and building up rhetorical trees. Different strategies are used when developing discourse parsers. One of the strategies to detect discourse ...
