LEXCONN: A French Lexicon of Discourse Connectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. With respect to discourse organisation, the most basic way of signalling the speaker’s or writer’s intentions is to use explicit lexical markers: so-called discourse markers or discourse connectives. While a lexicon of discourse connectives associated with the relations they express can be very useful for researchers, especially in Natural Language Processing, few projects aim at collecting them exhaustively, and only in a small number of languages.

Automatic Mapping of French Discourse Connectives to PDTB Discourse Relations
In this paper, we present an approach to exploit phrase tables generated by statistical machine translation in order to map French discourse connectives to discourse relations. Using this approach, we created ConcoLeDisCo, a lexicon of French discourse connectives and their PDTB relations. When evaluated against LEXCONN, ConcoLeDisCo achieves a recall of 0.81 and an Average Precision of 0.68 fo...
متن کاملInducing Discourse Connectives from Parallel Texts
Discourse connectives (e.g. however, because) are terms that explicitly express discourse relations in a coherent text. While a list of discourse connectives is useful for both theoretical and empirical research on discourse relations, few languages currently possess such a resource. In this article, we propose a new method that exploits parallel corpora and collocation extraction techniques to...
متن کاملAutomatic Disambiguation of French Discourse Connectives
Discourse connectives (e.g. however, because) are terms that can explicitly convey a discourse relation within a text. While discourse connectives have been shown to be an effective clue to automatically identify discourse relations, they are not always used to convey such relations, thus they should first be disambiguated between discourse-usage and non-discourse-usage. In this paper, we inves...

A special attention is paid to a consistent encoding of both primary and secondary connectives. The data itself comes ...
