Lascarides, A., N. Asher, and J. Oberlander, [1992] Inferring Discourse Relations in Context, in Proceedings of the 30th Annual Meeting of the Association of Computational Linguistics (ACL92), pp1--8, Delaware USA, June 1992.
We investigate various contextual effects on text interpretation, and account for them by providing contextual constraints in a logical theory of text interpretation. On the basis of the way these constraints interact with the other knowledge sources, we draw some general conclusions about the role of domain-specific information, top-down and bot\-tom-up discourse information flow, and the usefulness of formalisation in discourse theory.
