Semi-Automatic Annotation of Intra-Sentential Discourse Relations in PDT

In the present paper, we describe in detail and evaluate the process of semi-automatic annotation of intra-sentential discourse relations in the Prague Dependency Treebank, which is a part of the project of otherwise mostly manual annotation of all (intraand inter-sentential) discourse relations with explicit connectives in the treebank. Our assumption that some syntactic features of a sentence analysis (in a form of a deepsyntax dependency tree) correspond to certain discourse-level features proved to be correct, and the rich annotation of the treebank allowed us to automatically detect the intra-sentential discourse relations, their connectives and arguments in most of the cases.
