This paper presents DiZer 2.0, an adaptable on-line discourse parser. It is an evolution of DiZer, the first version of the system for Brazilian Portuguese language. It keeps the same analysis method following the Rhetorical Structure Theory, but builds on it by allowing any user to run it on the web and, if necessary, to build its own parser by incorporating discourse knowledge of the desired language and text type/genre. Besides presenting the system main points, this paper also shows a case study, in which the system is adapted for parsing the Spanish language.
