Abstract
The Cognitive approach to Coherence Relations (Sanders, Spooren, & Noordman,
1992) was originally proposed as a set of cognitively plausible primitives to order
coherence relations, but is also increasingly used as a discourse annotation scheme.
This paper provides an overview of new CCR distinctions that have been proposed over the
years, summarizes the most important discussions about the operationalization of the
primitives, and introduces a new distinction (disjunction) to the taxonomy to improve
the descriptive adequacy of CCR. In addition, it reflects on the use of the CCR as an
annotation scheme in practice. The overall aim of the paper is to provide an overview of
state-of-the-art CCR for discourse annotation that can form, together with the original
1992 proposal, a comprehensive starting point for anyone interested in annotating
discourse using CCR.
期刊介绍:
D&D seeks previously unpublished, high quality articles on the analysis of discourse and dialogue that contain -experimental and/or theoretical studies related to the construction, representation, and maintenance of (linguistic) context -linguistic analysis of phenomena characteristic of discourse and/or dialogue (including, but not limited to: reference and anaphora, presupposition and accommodation, topicality and salience, implicature, ---discourse structure and rhetorical relations, discourse markers and particles, the semantics and -pragmatics of dialogue acts, questions, imperatives, non-sentential utterances, intonation, and meta--communicative phenomena such as repair and grounding) -experimental and/or theoretical studies of agents'' information states and their dynamics in conversational interaction -new analytical frameworks that advance theoretical studies of discourse and dialogue -research on systems performing coreference resolution, discourse structure parsing, event and temporal -structure, and reference resolution in multimodal communication -experimental and/or theoretical results yielding new insight into non-linguistic interaction in -communication -work on natural language understanding (including spoken language understanding), dialogue management, -reasoning, and natural language generation (including text-to-speech) in dialogue systems -work related to the design and engineering of dialogue systems (including, but not limited to: -evaluation, usability design and testing, rapid application deployment, embodied agents, affect detection, -mixed-initiative, adaptation, and user modeling). -extremely well-written surveys of existing work. Highest priority is given to research reports that are specifically written for a multidisciplinary audience. The audience is primarily researchers on discourse and dialogue and its associated fields, including computer scientists, linguists, psychologists, philosophers, roboticists, sociologists.
