Pragmatic aspects in the description of discourse coherence
The study presents a qualitative analysis of pragmatic discourse relations as annotated in Czech texts of the Prague Dependency Treebank. A detailed study of these relations (as opposed to semantic relations) with their widest contexts reveals a considerable diversity and shows some space for improvement in the annotation scheme. We address and evaluate approaches dealing with subjectivity and inferential processes in the analysis of coherence. The starting points of the analysis are the extent and the way of author involvement in relation to the content and structuring of a text, and an analysis of inferences. Based on these considerations, we propose a possible finer division of relations marked as pragmatic into subjective epistemic ones, subjective ones with a relation to a speech act, relations with complex inferences, and corrupted coherence (because of too much of an inferential load or even articulation ineptitude of the author). The new perspective on these phenomena aims at an enhancement of the descriptive apparatus for a coherence-oriented corpus analysis.
