Abstract
CzeDLex is a new electronic lexicon of Czech discourse connectives. Its data format and structure are based on a study of similar existing resources, and adjusted to comply with the Czech syntactic tradition and specifics and with the Prague approach to the annotation of semantic discourse relations in text.
We first put the lexicon in context of related resources and discuss theoretical aspects of building the lexicon. Second, we introduce the chosen technical solution based on the Prague Markup Language.
Third, we describe the process of getting data for the lexicon by exploiting a large corpus manually annotated with discourse relations.
