The Textual Idea and its Relationship to discourse structure
Résumé
The textual idea could be characterized through a series of either detailing the
current form of idea or continuing a previous form of it. Every element of the series has
associated a span of the given text that carries it. If we are to relate different spans of
text according to relationship between corresponding elements of the series, we will
obtain a possible representation of discourse structure. In this paper we take a set of
texts and represent their structure in the above manner. The purpose is to give
researchers the possibility to asset our manner to represent discourse structure.
