Building a discourse-tagged corpus in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory
Lynn Carlson, Daniel Marcu, Mary Ellen Okurowski · 2001
We describe our experience in developing a discourse-annotated corpus for community-wide use. Working in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory, we were able to create a large annotated resource with very high consistency, using a well-defined methodology and protocol. This resource is made publicly available through the Linguistic Data Consortium to enable researchers to develop empirically grounded, discourse-specific applications.
