Abstract

Discourse coherence is one of the most essential and challenging topics in theoretical linguistics and computational linguistics. Complex network has found its initial application in discourse coherence analysis. We survey the corresponding work related to the complex network in discourse analysis and pinpoint the correlations among lexical chain, complex network and semantic field. We also demonstrate the prospect of applying complex network theory to discourse coherence analysis.
