  Abstract: "Discourse Parsing, the computational segmentation and  inference of structure and relations in text, remains a highly challenging task. Efforts have relied mostly on syntactic and lexical information. The use of semantics has been restricted to shallow semantic features such as lexical chains and similarity measures based on word co-occurrences.  Abstract: "Discourse Parsing, the computational segmentation and  inference of structure and relations in text, remains a highly challenging task.

-In the conversational analysis tradition (following Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks 1977) disfluencies are viewed as a subtype of repair. There are many insights in this type of approach, but it has typically not integrated into a formal model of grammar/dialogue. An alternative approach, common in the computational literature, has been to view disfluencies as filtered away by low-level processes, so that there is no interpretation of disfluencies, that the interpreter (the level of computation of dialogue meaning) doesn't see disfluencies (e.g. Heeman and Allen 1999). Recently, evidence from psycholinguistics has begun emerging that self-corrected material has a long-term processing effect (e.g. Brennan and Schober 20001, Arnold et al 2007), hence is not being ``edited away''. It can also bring about linguistic effects in whose interpretation it plays a significant role, for instance anaphora, as in (2a) from (Heeman and Allen 1999). In fact, disfluencies yield information: (2a) entails (2b) and defeasibly (2c), which in certain settings (e.g.\ legal), given sufficient data, can be useful.+In the conversational analysis tradition (following Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks 1977) disfluencies are viewed as a subtype of repair.

 Abstract:\\ Abstract:\\
- Description of discourse structure is a major topic of ongoing research (Moore & Wiemer-Hastings, 2003; Péry-Woodley & Scott, 2006). The importance of the discourse level (Asher & Lascarides, 2003; Grosz & Sidner, 1986; Hobbs, 1990; Mann & Thompson, 1987) is commonly accepted but the exact nature of its contribution and the rules that govern the interpretation are still debated. We would like to pay particular attention to enumerative structures as a textual pattern that constrain, in some way, their interpretation and their treatment in the SDRT model (Asher & Lascarides, 2003)Following Bras et al’s (2008) proposition to introduce a new textual discourse relation, Enumeration, we would like to go into this solution in depth in order to question its relevance. In brief, is the Enumeration relation necessary to construe the right representation of texts containing enumerative structures? To suggest possible answers to this question, we will consider discourse segments including the prepositional phrase  pour deux raisons (for two reasons) in order to examine its relations with subsequent segments+We propose to study the discourse contribution of enumerative 
 +structures involving the prepositional phrase pour deux raisons. We would like 
 +to highlight the contribution of the textual information conveyed by 
 +enumerative structures and the prepositional phrase both to the discourse 
 +structure and the discourse content within the SDRT model. We will show that 
 +prepositional phrase like pour deux raisons must introduce a discourse 
 +constituent in the structure attached by the Commentary relation to the left 
 +context and the Enumeration relation to the right context. Finally we propose to 
 +treat pour deux raisons as a new kind of discourse marker: We will show that 
 +its discursive role within enumerative structures is to signal the content-level 
 +relation Explanation.
