- LDM-PT - A Portuguese Lexicon of Discourse MarkersPublication . Mendes, Amália; Lejeune, PierreThe Lexicon of Discourse Markers (LDM-PT) provides a set of lexical items in Portuguese that have the function of structuring discourse and ensuring textual cohesion and coherence at intrasentential and inter-sentential levels. Each connective is associated to the set of its rhetorical senses, following the PDTB typology.
- Some considerations on the use of main verbs to express rhetorical relationsPublication . Lejeune, Pierre; Mendes, Amália; Martins, NunoRhetorical relations are typically expressed by discourse structuring devices that ensure textual cohesion and coherence. Resources such as the PDTB target specifically the annotation of these devices, while describing alternative lexicalizations of such relations (AltLex). Our preparatory work to develop a discourse treebank for Portuguese in the PDTB framework has provided ground for some considerations regarding the status, in intra-sentential coherence, of main verbs that internally carry a causative meaning. We have first focused on the annotation of the rhetorical senses Reason, Result, Pragmatic_justification as expressed explicitly by discourse structuring devices (conjunctions, adverbs, phrases and prepositions), taken as elements that express a two-place semantic relation filled by propositional arguments. However, these relations are also frequently marked by other devices (AltLex).
- The crisis impact on the political discourse of Portuguese social partnersPublication . Rego, Raquel; Won, Miguel; Martins, Bruno; Mendes, Amália; del Río, Iria; Lejeune, PierreThis chapter provides a sociological perspective on citizenship at a time of crisis enriched with data analysis techniques from computer engineering and linguistics. We base our research on the assumption that citizenship assumes a political and civic dimension illustrated in an exemplary way through the development achieved and role performed by trade unions and employers’ associations in our societies.
