We investigate these two proposals with regard to the English transcripts\u0000 of six TED Talks and their Lithuanian, Portuguese and Turkish translations in the TED-Multilingual Discourse Bank (TED-MDB),\u0000 annotated for discourse relations, following the Penn Discourse Treebank style of annotation. Our data shows that the\u0000 discontinuous relations contrast and concession are indeed frequently explicit in all languages. But continuous\u0000 relations show differences per relation and language. For instance, cause is frequently conveyed implicitly in English\u0000 and Portuguese, but not in Lithuanian and Turkish. We explore temporal continuity by analysing whether the forward-order sense\u0000 result is more frequently implicit than the backward-order reason. The hypothesis is confirmed by English\u0000 and Portuguese, but not Lithuanian and Turkish. However, in Turkish, the arguments of the backward-order relation reason\u0000 are frequently presented by the reversed order of arguments, retaining the linear order of events even in the presence of the\u0000 connective. The causality-by-default hypothesis is not confirmed, as cause is not the most frequent implicit relation in\u0000 the four languages.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42138385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet they have been attributed to these relations in very different ways. This calls for an analysis of\u0000 individual instances of discourse relations with respect to their continuity dimensions. To this end, we operationalise Givón’s (1993) continuity dimensions (time, space, reference, action,\u0000 perspective, modality, and speech act), decomposing them into distinctive features that allow a\u0000 consistent and accurate classification of the continuity dimensions in discourse relation tokens. This inventory was applied to\u0000 five representative relation types (causal, contrastive, conditional, elaboration, and\u0000 temporal) from the RST Discourse Treebank (Carlson & Marcu 2001). We\u0000 found that relations can simultaneously be more continuous for some dimensions but more discontinuous for others. What is more,\u0000 discourse relations typically vary widely in different continuity dimensions and thus cannot be described as fully continuous or\u0000 discontinuous, neither on the level of the entire relation type nor for one of its particular dimensions. Using examples of\u0000 causal, conditional, and contrastive relations, we also illustrate how the results of our analysis\u0000 can be used to verify hypotheses about correlations between continuity and discourse relations.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44419555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fetzer, Matthias Klumm","doi":"10.1075/fol.22010.fet","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/fol.22010.fet","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines the linguistic realization of continuative discourse relations in British English written discourse comparing narrative and argumentative dyadically edited texts. The data comprise 18 co-edited texts and metadata documenting the editing process (keystroke logs and transcripts of the dyads negotiating discursive well-formedness). The focus of analysis lies on the linguistic realization of coordinating continuation and narration, which keep the discourse on the same level, and on the linguistic realization of subordinating elaboration and explanation, which introduce a deeper level in the discourse hierarchy. Special attention is paid to contexts in which the discourse relations are encoded in intra-clausal coherence strands, and to contexts in which they are additionally signalled in the peripheries. The quantitative analysis of the signalling of continuative discourse relations shows genre-specific preferences for the signalling of continuation and elaboration in the argumentative data, and continuation, narration and explanation in the narrative data. Both the products of the edited data, the co-edited texts, and the metadata show that the linguistic realization and interpretation of continuative discourse relations are – to varying degrees – subject to recontextualization. We suggest that this variation provides evidence for (1) discourse relations as constitutive parts of discourse grammar, and (2) genre as a blueprint which constrains their linguistic realization.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45184147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
