| "text": "This paper discusses tile role of disconrse in expository text; text which typically comprises published scholarly papers, textbooks, proceedings of conferences, and other highly stylized documents. Our purpose is to examine the extent to which those discourse-related phenomena that generally assist the analysis of dialogue text --where speaker, hearer, and speech-act information are more actively inwllved in the identification of plans and goals -can be used to help with the analysis of expository text. In particular, we make the optimistic assmnption that expository text is strongly connected; i.e., that all adjacent pairs of clauses in such a text are connected by 'cohesion markers,' both explicit and implicit. We investigate the impact that this assmnption may have on the depth of understanding that can be achieved, rite nnderlying semantic structures, aud the supporting lcnowledge base for the analysis. An application of this work in designin~g the M-based machine translation nmdel, TRANSLA-TOR, is discussed in NIRENBURG ET AL (1986) which appears elsewhere in this volume.", |

More often, however, we are not given snch a nine, we are expected to automatically detect this shift of focus without requiring , any explicit prompting.", |

| "text": "Most of the research in tile field of discourse analysis uses texts which are dialogues; two or more people are involved, speaker and hearer roles are constantly changing, and speech-act (speaker's intention) infermarion is a changing and essential factor in tile semantics of the dialogue. For instance, extensive work has been published by LONGRACE (1977) , PHILLIPS (1977) , REICHMAN (1984 REICHMAN ( , 1985 , JOSHI ET AL. (1981), and GRIMES (1978). Although expository text does not typically contain dialogues, techniques of discourse analysis appears nevertheless to contribute strongly to the Another area of research that directly bears upon the present prob lem is the notion of textual coherence. According to HOBBS (1976) , an utterance is coherent if it is an action within the implementation of some plan. In particular, conversation may be characterized as all expression of planned behavior with goals, and is thus coherent in this sense. Hobbs describes four classes of coherent conversational moves that can occur in a dialogue: Occasion (cause or enablement), Evaluation, Explanation, and Expansion. In each of these moves, the speaker's goat is to manipulate the inference process of the hearer, so that tile latter links what he/she already knows with what is new in the message. We shall illustrate that tile same premise can serve as a starting point for identifying and characterizing coherence in an expository text.", |

In the sentence, 'The software that allows a person to use and/or modify this data is called a DBMS,' the new concept DBMS is defined for the first time in the text, using refinements of another concept 'software' that occur through the discourse cohesion relation +expau. That is, if we identify 'software' as concept cl, 'allowing a person to use and/or modify data' as concept c2, and 'DBMS' as concept c3, then we see that rite refined concept, say cl', results from +expan(cl,c2), and the new concept c3 results as from cl' through generalization; that is, -expan(cl',c3), or -expan( + expan(cl ,c2),c3). CONTRASTIVE: -simil(cl,c2) is true if c2 is either dissimilar or opposite from cl. For instance, consider the sentence, 'In accessing a database, the user gives English-like commands rather than Pascal-like algorithms.' Let cl denote the concept of 'accessing a database,' c2 denote the (refined) concept of 'the user giving English-like commands,' and c3 denote the concept of'the user giving Pascal-like algorithms.' Then we have the contrastive relation appearing in the following conceptual refinements: cl'= +expan(cl,c2) and cl\"=-expan(cl',c3).

That is, we want the user to be able to access any item in the database within a few seconds of response time.'
