Diskursstruktur/Diskursrelationen in der TüBa-D/Z: Subkorpus der TüBa-D/Z mit Diskursstruktur und Diskursrelationen

This subcorpus of the treebank TüBa-D/Z contains discourse structures and discourse relations. For the study on automatic classification, we use instances of two German temporal connectives that can also carry a non-temporal discourse relation, namely `während´ and `nachdem. Our data set – the connective occurrences from the current extent of the TüBa-D/Z, totalling about 60 000 sentences – contains 294 instances of "nachdem" and 527 instances of "während". Where available, we used the syntactic annotation from the treebank; in the remaining cases, we used a syntactic parser (Versley and Rehbein, 2009) to provide syntax trees for the feature extraction.
