NLP is mainly focused on words and sentences even if most people agree that a better understanding of text structure could help extracting knowledge. In this article we show that, in certain domains, textual approaches are relevant for NLP, taking as an example a specific task related to the medical domain : the automatic modelling of health practice guidelines.

RÉSUMÉ. Nous proposons D-STAG, un nouveau formalisme pour l’analyse automatique de la structure discursive des textes. Les analyses produites par D-STAG sont des structures de discours hiérarchiques annotées de relations de discours, qui sont compatibles avec les structures de discours produites en SDRT. L’analyse discursive prolonge l’analyse phrastique, sans modifier celle-ci, ce qui rend env...
