We discuss and combine representation formats for discourse structure, in particular ’d-trees’ from QUD theory and SDRT graphs. QUD trees are derived from SDRT graphs, while changes must apply to QUD theory in order to allow for representations of naturalistic data. We discuss whether QUDs can replace discourse relations. We apply a new method for the identification of implicit Questions under ...

This paper presents the methodology and semantics of a general procedure for the joint analysis of textual data in terms of discourse structure and information structure, which makes use of Questions under Discussion (QUDs). We define a number of pragmatic principles that govern the reconstruction of implicit QUDs.

Process integration in Software Engineering Environments (SEE) is very important to allow tool integration. In this paper, we present a knowledge-based approach to improve process integration in ODE, an ontology-based SEE.

We consider two hypotheses about how rhetorical structure and QUD structure might come together to provide a more general pragmatic theory. Taking SDRT ([2]) and some basic principles from [18]’s QUD framework as starting points, we first consider the possibility that rhetorical relations can be modelled as QUDs, and vice versa. We ultimately reject this hypothesis in favor of the possibility t...
