Problems and Possibilities of the Annotation of the Interpropositional Discourse Relations in PDT 2.0.
Abstract
The paper focuses on the problems and possibilities of the annotation of interpropositional discourse relations in a dependency corpus of a natural language (Czech) such as PDT 2.0. Apart from the general introduction to the existing PDT 2.0 material and the relevant terminology (proposition, connective, argument, discourse layer etc.) it presents the main areas of problems arising during the IDR annotation that are the consequence of the specific form of the existing (especially tectogrammatical) PDT 2.0 annotation.
As the degree of IDR is not an independent language layer but brings new information about the integration of tectogrammatical tree or its parts into its language context, the main emphasis is on recording the IDR on the basis of t-trees annotation. The main areas of problems do therefore touch the relation of a proposition and a tectogrammatical tree, that do not always have to correspond (the point is especially to mark out the argument, discourse parceling, multisentence direct speech
