In this paper, we aim to give a preliminary account of information-based aspects of punctuation marks, drawing our points from examples and links with related phenomena such as intonation. We give our initial treatment within the Discourse Representation Theory. date: 1996 date_type: published publisher: GRLMC (Grup de Recerca en Linguistica Matematica i Enginyeria del Llenguatge), Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain pagerange: 93-94 refereed: FALSE citation: Say, Bilge and Akman, Varol (1996) An Information-Based Treatment of Punctuation.
