Utterances that do not draw on previous discourse seem awkward, unnatural, or even incoherent. Previous discourse must be taken into account in order to relate new information effectively to recently conveyed material , and to avoid repeating old material that w...

Synchronous discussions in distributed computer-supported learning environments are usually conducted employing chat tools. Lack of coordination and coherence among the contributions is a typical problem with chat.

Abstract. Adjuncts contribute to the spatiotemporal anchoring of events and situations described by linguistic expressions, while arguments describe the participants of events and situations. We show how a deterministic parser, based on the recovery of asymmetric relations, enables the identification of adjuncts as possible antecedents to pronouns, whether they are located in the domain of the ...
