Overall Motivation

Dorothee's Presentation for download

The overall motivation is to create a richly annotated discourse corpus facilitating the analysis of student texts within writing research.

The main perspective taken is that of discourse analysis. Linguistic analysis is helpful, but not our main goal.

A student text is understood as a written discourse, and it is its discourse structure that we will be annotating.

So far we have identified only a couple of Lexically-grounded discourse relations, Anchors and Discourse chains.

Lexically-grounded discourse relations we have listed in the sortable table below:


Lexically-grounded discourse relations
Sense Grammatical category Connective
condition conjunction hvis
condition conjunction når
goal conjunction for å
sequence/temporal conjunction og[1]
list conjunction og
precedence adverb etterpå
precedence adverb
specification multi-word expression for eksempel
supplement adverb alias
disjunction conjunction eller[1]
temporal conjunction når
