RST Signalling Corpus

Introduction RST Signalling Corpus was developed at Simon Fraser University and contains annotations for signalling information added to RST Discourse Treebank (LDC2002T07). RST Discourse Treebank (RST-DT) is a collection of English news texts annotated for rhetorical relations under the RST (Rhetorical Structure Theory) framework. In RST Signalling Corpus, information about textual signals -- such as although, because, thus -- and signals such as tense, lexical chains or punctuation were added as an annotation layer to examine how rhetorical relations are signalled in discourse.
