Information-based aspects of punctuation
In Bilge Say & Varol Akman (eds.), Intl. Workshop on Punctuation in Computational Linguistics, Santa Cruz, CA, June 1996. Stroudsburg, PA: Association for Computational Linguistics (1996)
Abstract
We offer a preliminary account of the information-based aspects of punctuation marks. We give our initial treatment within the Discourse Representation Theory and its segmented version. We hypothesize that this work will be useful in classifying the informational contributions of punctuation marks and bringing them to bear on the semantic characterization of written discourse.Author's Profile
