Abstract

This study investigates the use of Same - a relation that connects the parts of a discontinuous discourse segment - in the Discourse Graphbank (Wolf et al., 2004). Our analysis reveals systematic deviations from the definition of the Same relation and a substantial number of confusions between Same and Elaboration relations. We discuss some methodological and theoretical implications of these findings.
