Explicit and implicit coherence relations in Dutch texts
This study explores some of the factors that influence the probability that a
coherence relation will be explicitly marked with a connective. In a corpus
of 80 Dutch texts from expository and persuasive genres with annotations
of the coherence structure (using Rhetorical Structure Theory, RST) and the
genre-specific structure (using move analysis), we investigate the roles and
interactions of genre, level in the hierarchical discourse structure, and type of
coherence relation.
