Abstract

d-stag is a new formalism for the automatic analysis of discourse. It computes hierarchical discourse structures annotated with discourse relations. They are compatible with those computed in sdrt. A discursive stag grammar pairs up trees anchored by discourse connectives with trees anchored by (functors associated with) discourse relations.
