Abstract
This paper is focused on some problematic aspects of connective means in discourse annotation in the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). First, the contribution introduces some basic principles of discourse annotation and its position in the PDT.
It also describes expressions which can act as connectives of discourse relations. The main part is devoted to three problematic aspects of connective means: (i) semantic diversity of connective tedy (roughly: thus), (ii) ambiguous role of rhematizators among discourse connectives (illustrated in rhematizator také (also)) and (iii) various roles of expression tak (so, thus) in text coherence.
