Discourse Processing to this place is framed as marking up a true copy with structural descriptions on several levels, what one. can serve to support many speech-processing or text-mining tasks. We in the ~ place explore some ways of assigning arrangement of parts on the document level: the logical document structure as determined by the layout of the verse , its genre-specific content structure, and its fall into topical segments. Then the converging-point moves to phenomena of local unity. We introduce the problem of coreference and anticipate at methods for building chains of coreferring entities in the theme. Next, the notion of coherence recital is introduced as the second important factor of local coherence. We study the role of connectives and other shift of signaling such relations in topic, and then return to the proportion of larger textual units, where tree or graph structures be able to be ascribed by recursively assigning intelligibility relations. Taken together, these descriptions can inform text summarization, information extraction, discourse-aware sentiment analysis, question answering, and the like.
