[Rstlist] Yet another RST corpus

[Andrew Potter]

This corpus consists of 150 Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) analyses of listserv messages exchanged during a scholarly debate. The debate took place in 1994 on an email list devoted to the topic of science, technology, and society (STS). It attracted the attention and participation of numerous scholars in the field, such as Steve Fuller, Patrick W. Hamlett, Paul R. Gross, Harry Marks, Harry M. Collins, Sharon Traweek, and Warren Schmaus. The topic concerned the objectivity and universality of scientific knowledge relative to historical and social context of scientific institutions.

The RST files are in RS3 format.

Please feel free to make use of these in your RST research. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
