Multiword Expressions as Discourse Relation Markers (DRMs)
Aravind K. Joshi · International Conference on Computational Linguistics · 2010
Usually, by Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) we mean expressions whose structure and meaning cannot be derived from their component words as they occur independently. In this talk I will discuss a different kind of multi-word expressions that behave as discourse relation markers (DRMs), yet do not seem to belong to well-defined syntactic classes. The apparent open-endedness of these expressions is a challenge for their automatic identification.1
