| Challenge: | Using a new corpus of sentences from Hindi short stories, we analyze the annotations for five different discourse modes argumentative, narrative, descriptive, dialogic and informative. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate sentences from Hindi short stories for five different discourse modes argumentative, narrative, descriptive, dialogic and informative. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus has a high inter-annotator agreement (0.87 k-alpha) and is able to capture the nuances of the embedded discourse structures. |

| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is searchable through a couple of well-established corpus infrastructures. |
Enriching a Lexicon of Discourse Connectives with Corpus-based Data (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing annotation efforts for multiple languages have focused on discourse connectives, but we have limited it to the class of connectives marking contrast and the additional relations such connectives might convey. |
| Approach: | They enrich a lexicon of italian COnnectives with real corpus data for connectives marking contrast relations in text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource is a valuable tool for linguistic analyses of discourse relations and the training of a classifier for NLP applications. |
