Discourse parsing of complex text types such as scientific research articles requires the analysis of an input document on linguistic and structural levels that go beyond traditionally employed lexical discourse markers. This chapter describes a text-technological approach to discourse parsing. Discourse parsing with the aim of providing a discourse structure is seen as the addition of a new annotation layer for input documents marked up on several linguistic annotation levels. The discourse parser generates discourse structures according to the Rhetorical Structure Theory. An overview of the knowledge sources and components for parsing scientific joumal articles is given. The parser’s core consists of cascaded applications of the GAP, a Generic Annotation Parser. Details of the chart parsing algorithm are provided, as well as a short evaluation in terms of comparisons with reference annotations from our corpus and with recently developed Systems with a similar task.

This chapter addresses the requirements and linguistic foundations of automatic relational discourse analysis of complex text types such as scientific journal articles. It is argued that besides lexical and grammatical discourse markers, which have traditionally been employed in discourse parsing, cues derived from the logical and generical document structure and the thematic structure of a text must be taken into account. An approach to modelling such types of linguistic information in terms of XML-based multi-layer annotations and to a text-technological representation of additional knowledge sources is presented. By means of quantitative and qualitative corpus analyses, cues and constraints for automatic discourse analysis can be derived. Furthermore, the proposed representations are used as the input sources for discourse parsing. A short overview of the projected parsing architecture is given.
Researchers in many disciplines, sometimes working in close cooperation, have been concerned with modeling textual data in order to account for texts as the prime information unit of written communication. The list of disciplines includes computer science and linguistics as well as more specialized disciplines like computational linguistics and text technology. What many of these efforts have in common is the aim to model textual data by means of abstract data types or data structures that support at least the semi-automatic processing of texts in any area of written communication.
Discourse segmentation is the division of a text into minimal discourse segments, which form the leaves in the trees that are used to represent discourse structures. A definition of elementary discourse segments in German is provided by adapting widely used segmentation principles for English minimal units, while considering punctuation, morphology, sytax, and aspects of the logical document structure of a complex text type, namely scientific articles. The algorithm and implementation of a discourse segmenter based on these principles is presented, as well an evaluation of test runs.
A text parsing component designed to be part of a system that assists students in academic reading an writing is presented. The parser can automatically add a relational discourse structure annotation to a scientific article that a user wants to explore. The discourse structure employed is defined in an XML format and is based the Rhetorical Structure Theory. The architecture of the parser comprises pre-processing components which provide an input text with XML annotations on different linguistic and structural layers. In the first version these are syntactic tagging, lexical discourse marker tagging, logical document structure, and segmentation into elementary discourse segments. The algorithm is based on the shift-reduce parser by Marcu (2000) and is controlled by reduce operations that are constrained by linguistic conditions derived from an XML-encoded discourse marker lexicon. The constraints are formulated over multiple annotation layers of the same text.
Im Teilprojekt CI “SemDok” der DFG-Forschergruppe Texttechnologische Informationsmodellierung wurde ein Textparser für Diskursstrukturen wissenschaftlicher Zeitschriftenartikel nach der Rhetorical Structure Theory entwickelt. Die wesentlichen konzeptuellen und technischen Merkmale des Chart-Parsers und die sich daraus ergebenden Parametrisierungsmöglichkeiten für Parsing-Experimente werden beschrieben. Zudem wird HPVtz., ein Tool für die Visualisierung von Parsing-Ergebnissen (RST-Bäume in einer XML-Anwendung) und die Navigation in ihnen, vorgestellt.
Computerlinguistik (die Verarbeitung von Sprache mit dem Computer) und Texttechnologie (die automatisierte Handhabung elektronischer Texte) haben im letzten Jahrzehnt unterschiedliche Richtungen eingeschlagen. Beide Disziplinen speisen sich jedoch aus der gleichen Quelle: der formalen Grammatik. Deshalb ist eine gemeinsame Darstellung sinnvoll. Der Bezug auf die gemeinsamen Grundlagen und die kontrastierende Gegenüberstellung einzelner Teilbereiche fördern das Verständnis der jeweils anderen Disziplin und eröffnen interessante Querbezüge. Erstmals wird die Verknüpfung von Computerlinguistik und Texttechnologie mit dieser Einführung in knapper Form systematisch vollzogen, was sie insbesodere für Module im Bachelor-Studium geeignet macht.
