Rhetorical Structure of Business English

[Jelisaveta Safranj]

Dear RST list,

I am working on a PhD project on "Rhetorical Structure of Business English" ( based on a corpus of online articles from The Financial Times ). I wonder if anyone is aware of other studies using RST in business English newspaper articles?

I'd be very grateful if you could send me some references if you know of research that might be related to mine, So far I am aware of general papers on the subject of discourse segmentation (Mann and Thompson, Grosz and Sidner, Moore and Pollack ); but wonder if there are papers dealing with the business genre specifically.

Thanks for any advice.

Jelisaveta
