Automated Chinese Full-text Abstraction System (ACFAS) 1 is a major computational linguistics research project at the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong. It aims to automatically produce abstracts from Chinese newspaper editorials in Hong Kong. The abundant use of overt syntactic markers typical in argumentative texts has been capitalized as cues to establish the textual structure of the input. On the basis of analyses of a corpus of editorials, the adequacy of this use of syntactic markers is investigated, and issues related to how they can be used in the construction of a semantic frame knowledge representation are studied.
