ISO-DR-core plugs into ISO-dialogue acts for a cross-linguistic taxonomy of discourse markers

The proposed taxonomy encompasses two dimensions: the semantic, with values regarding the discourse relations signalled by discourse markers, and the pragmatic, with values concerning the communicative function realized by discourse markers. We present a proof of concept for this twodimensional taxonomy in ...

Validation of language agnostic models for discourse marker detection

Using language models to detect or predict the presence of language phenomena in the text has become a mainstream research topic. With the rise of generative models, experiments using deep learning and transformer models trigger intense interest. Aspects like precision of predictions, portability to other languages or phenomena, scale have been central to the research community. Discourse markers, as language phenomena, perform important functions, such as signposting, signalling, and rephras...
