Analysis files for Discourse Relations Corpus

[Maite Taboada]

Further to my e-mail announcing the Discourse Relations Corpus (see 
below), we'd like to let you know that we've also made available the 
RSTTool files, after a suggestion from a list member. The files can be 
opened directly with RSTTool (for .rs2 and .rs3 files), or can be 
associated with RSTTool (for .lisp files).

The zipped package with all the files is also posted on the RST site:

Cheers,

Dear colleagues,

We'd like to announce a new corpus useful for research in coherence 
relations. The Discourse Relations Reference Corpus contains RST 
analyses of 65 texts, from different sources. The analyses were compiled 
by Jan Renkema and myself, mostly from annotations by other people.

The corpus can be downloaded as a pdf file from the RST web site:

Corpus/ [Corpus]. Simon Fraser University and Tilburg University.
