Amba Kulkarni, Monali Das · 2012
The last decade has seen rigorous activities in the field of Sanskrit computational linguistics pertaining to word level and sentence level analysis. In this paper we point out the need of special treatment for Sanskrit at discourse level owing to specific trends in Sanskrit in the production of its literature ranging over two millennia. We present a tagset for inter-sentential analysis followed by a brief account of discourse level relations accounting the sub-topic and topic level analysis, as discussed in the Indian literature illustrating an application of these to a text in the domain of vyākaran. a (grammar).
