Abstract
The present contribution is an updated and extended version of the paper from the conference DepLing 2011. It represents the first step in comparing the nature of syntactico-semantic relations present in the sentence structure to their equivalents in the discourse structure.
The study is carried out on the basis of a Czech manually annotated material collected in the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). According to the analysis of the underlying syntactic structure of a sentence (tectogrammatics) in the PDT, we distinguish various types of relations that can be expressed both within a single sentence (i.e. in a tree) and in a larger text, beyond the sentence boundary (between trees).
We suggest that, on the one hand, semantic nature of each type of these relations corresponds both within a sentence and in a larger text (i.e. a causal relation remains a causal relation) but, on the other hand, according to the semantic properties of the relations, their distribution in a sentence or between sentences is
