Some considerations on the use of main verbs to express rhetorical relations
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Rhetorical 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).
