Towards a Functional Discourse Grammar of Platonic Dialogue and a Linguistic Commentary on Plato's Protagoras -- Cassandra Freiberg.A text usually provides more information than a random sequence of clauses: It combines sentence-level information to larger units which are glued together by coherence relations that may induce a hierarchical discourse structure. Since linguists have begun to investigate texts as more complex units of linguistic communication, it has been controversially discussed what the appropriate level of analysis of discourse structure ought to be and what the criteria to identify (minimal) discourse units are. Linguistic structure-and more precisely, the extraction and integration of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic information-is shown to be at the center of text processing and discourse comprehension. However, its role in the establishment of basic building blocks for a coherent discourse is still a subject of debate. This collection addresses these issues using various methodological approaches. It presents current results in theoretical, diachronic, experimental as well as computational research on structuring information in discourse.Current Research in the Semantics / Pragmatics Interface ;40.Discourse markersCongressesDiscourse analysisCongressesDiscourse markersDiscourse analysis401.41Suckow KatjaHoller AnkeFuente Israel de laMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910794329303321Information structuring in discourse3791007UNINA
