Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Questions under Discussion (QUD) are emerging as a useful approach to spelling out the connection between information structure of sentences and nature of discourse. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for QUD annotation based on explicit pragmatic principles . they propose generating all potentially relevant questions for a given sentence . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework supports more reliable discourse structure annotation based on explicit questions . but the proposed approach is not robust enough for authentic data . |

| Challenge: | a new annotation scheme and discourse-analytic method is developed for information structure annotation. |
| Approach: | They propose a new annotation scheme and a discourse-analytic method based on Questions under Discussion . they introduce a tool which enables the analyst to semi-automatically segment texts and enhance them with QUDs . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves good inter-annotator scores and good agreement with discourse annotations. |
