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 it mainly the argumentation structure of the discourse that we will be annotating.
So far we have identified a couple of Lexically-grounded discourse relations, but also talked about, 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 | så |
| specification | multi-word expression | for eksempel |
| supplement | adverb | alias |
| disjunction | conjunction | eller[1] |
| temporal | conjunction | når |
