for papers for the symposium COHERENCE RELATIONS IN GRAMMAR,
DISCOURSE AND COGNITION</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">Coherence
relations are object of studies in diverse areas in Linguistics. In
Functional Linguistics, a wide range of research studies investigate
how coherence relations arise from the combination of paratactic and
hypotactic clauses and their discourse functions. In Discourse
Analysis, relations held between texts spans have been studied in
order to characterize various genres. In Cognitive Linguistics, the
investigation goes in the direction of explicating how conceptual
material that gives rise to the semantic and pragmatic functions of
coherence relations is packed into linguistic material. From a
computational point of view, applications have been developed for
machines to automatically perform tasks such as parsing, discourse
unit segmentation, detection of central units, study translation
strategies, discourse based sentiment analysis, discourse based
question answering, discourse summarization. In pedagogical
applications, the study of coherence relations in discourse can be
useful to produce writing and reading resources for teachers and
students. In this symposium, we intend to gather studies regarding
coherence relations in grammar, discourse and cognition from the
perspective of Rhetorical Structure Theory and related theories.
Papers can be presented in Portuguese, Spanish or English.<br></p>
