Committee-based Discourse Purpose Assignment: Discourse Structure Annotations of Spontaneous Japanese Monologue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Identifying the regularity of middle level discourse is useful for annotating discourse structure in long monologues. A convincing way to find segments is described on the middle level of discourse structure (sub-story), based on a committee-based decision of discourse purposes and a detection of transitive expressions.

Intonational cues to discourse structure in Japanese
This study examines the extent to which intonation plays a role in the structuring of information in a Japanese monologue. The role of pitch accent in the intonational system of Japanese is very di erent from that in languages like Dutch or English: in Japanese, pitch accent is a lexical property of words and cannot be used to lend prominence to words at the sentence level. Therefore, we wonder...

The availability of the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) Discourse Treebank has spurred substantial research into discourse analysis of written texts; however, limited research has been conducted to date on RST annotation and parsing of spoken language, in particular, nonnative spontaneous speech. Considering that the measurement of discourse coherence is typically a key metric in human scorin...
متن کاملA Corpus-based Analysis on Prosody and Discourse Structure in Japanese Spontaneous Monologues
The aim of this paper is two folds. First, the paper attempts to investigate prosody and discourse structure in Japanese spontaneous monologues by using the prosodic labels of the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ). The analyses of F0 peak trends and prosodic breaks confirmed previous findings in [1]. Secondly, the paper attempts to evaluate the validity of prosodic labels of the X-JToBI syst...
متن کاملUsing Prosody to Classify Discourse Relations
This work aims to explore the correlation between the discourse structure of a spoken monologue and its prosody by predicting discourse relations from different prosodic attributes. For this purpose, a corpus of semi-spontaneous monologues in English has been automatically annotated according to the Rhetorical Structure Theory, which models coherence in text via rhetorical relations. From corre...
متن کاملRhetorical structure and argumentation structure in monologue text
On the basis of a new corpus of short “microtexts” with parallel manual annotations, we study the mapping from discourse structure (in terms of Rhetorical Structure Theory, RST) to argumentation structure. We first perform a qualitative analysis and discuss our findings on correspondence patterns. Then we report on experiments with deriving argumentation structure from the (gold) RST trees, whe...
