title: Dashes as Typographical Cues for the Information Structure creator: Say, Bilge creator: Akman, Varol subject: Computational Linguistics subject: Semantics description: We take em-dash as our sample punctuation mark and examine its usage from a discourse perspective, using sentences from well-known corpora. We particularly comment on how dashes can give hints on information structure, focus, and anaphora. Throughout the paper Discourse Representation Theory is used as a framework. publisher: Center for Research in Cognitive Science and Department of Psychology, National Chung Cheng University, Chiayi, Taiwan date: 1998 type: Conference Paper type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/postscript identifier: http://cogprints.org/209/2/itallc.ps identifier: Say, Bilge and Akman, Varol (1998) Dashes as Typographical Cues for the Information Structure.
