Abstract

In this paper global patterns of thematic text organization are considered within the framework of a distributed model of text understanding. Based on the parsing results of prior text cohesion analysis, specialized text grammar modules determine whether some well-defined text macro-organization pattern is computable from the available text representation structures. The model underlying text coherence parsing formalizes hither-to entirely intuitive textlinguistic notions whose origin can be traced back to Danes's work on thematic progression patterns.
