Document Summary
Three levels of representaion: surface structure, text base, referenial representaion (situaion model) Discourse is coherent: local & global coherence. Global: how the text as a whole is put together: linked by inferences. Local inferences used to idenify how one piece of text related to another: may have to make an educated guess if ambiguous. Connecions oten made by co-reference: diferent parts in a text are relaing to the same thing. Co-reference signaled by deinite aricles: deinite aricle: the indicates something you"ve already encountered, have to search for what it is referring to. Frank knew game from his old home town the woman was more happy then. The woman must be jane vs. a woman where it may or may not be. Causal coherence: consistent causal chain of events: ex. Pete was in a hurry, he ran to the bus, his cofee sloshed out of his mug.
