      <p class="texte">Discours est une revue électronique internationale et interdisciplinaire (linguistique, psycholinguistique et informatique) qui publie deux numéros par an et occasionnellement des numéros thématiques. Elle est un lieu d'échange et de confrontation des données, des analyses et des théories visant la description, la compréhension, la formalisation et le traitement informatique de l'organisation des textes.</p>
      <p class="texte">Ce numéro 13 est un numéro varia. Des propositions de contributions sont encouragées sur tous les aspects thématiques de la revue.

    <title>Évaluation automatique de textes et cohésion lexicale</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">L’évaluation automatique de textes connaît        actuellement un succès grandissant en raison de son importance dans le        champ de l’éducation et, tout particulièrement, de l’apprentissage des        langues étrangères. Si des systèmes efficaces ont été développés ces        quinze dernières années, peu d’entre eux prennent en compte le niveau        discursif. Récemment, quelques recherches ont proposé de remédier à        cette lacune au moyen de mesures automatiques de la cohésion lexicale        obtenues à partir d’une analyse sémantique latente, mais les résultats        n’ont pas été conformes aux attentes. En s’inspirant d’un modèle bien        connu de l’expertise rédactionnelle, la présente recherche propose        d’employer un nouvel indice de cohésion dérivé des travaux en        segmentation thématique de textes. L’efficacité de cet index est        confirmée au travers de l’analyse d’un corpus de 223 textes        d’apprenants de l’anglais comme lang...</p>]]></description>

    <title>Discourse in Statistical Machine Translation</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Current approaches to statistical machine        translation assume that sentences in a text are independent, ignoring        the property of connectedness present in virtually all discourse. We        provide an extensive overview of the literature about statistical        machine translation that can be related to discourse phenomena and        present a detailed investigation and discussion of existing research        efforts on a particular discourse-related problem, the translation of        anaphoric pronouns. Comparing different approaches to discourse in        statistical machine translation allows us to identify fundamental        problems and draw conclusions from an overarching perspective.</p>]]></description>

    <title>So to Speak: A Computational and Empirical Investigation of Lexical Cohesion of Non-Literal and Literal Expressions in Text</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Lexical cohesion is an important device for        signaling text organization. In this paper, we investigate to what        extent a particular class of expressions which can have a non-literal        interpretation participates in the cohesive structure of a text.        Specifically, we look at five expressions headed by a verb which        – depending on the context – can have either a literal or a        non-literal meaning: <em>bounce off the wall</em> (“to        be excited and full of nervous energy”), <em>get one’s        feet wet</em> (“to start a new activity or job”), <em>rock the boat</em> (“to disturb the balance or routine        of a situation”), <em>break the ice</em> (“to start to        get to know people, to overcome initial shyness”), and <em>play with fire</em> (“to take part in a dangerous or        risky undertaking”). We look at the problem both from an empirical and        a computational perspective. The results from our empirical study        suggest that both literal and non-literal ex...</p>]]></description>

    <title>How Different Information Sources Interact in the Interpretation of Interleaved Discourse: The Case of Two-Step Enumerative Structures</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Little attention has been devoted to        interleaved discourse structures despite the challenges they offer to        discourse coherence studies. Interleaved structures occur frequently        if several dimensions of discourse coherence (semantic, intentional,        textual, etc.) are considered simultaneously on relatively large        texts. Two-step enumerative structures, a kind of interleaved        structure, are enumerative structures in which the items are further        developed in an enumerative fashion. We propose in this paper a        treatment of the semantic and textual dimensions of such structures.        We also propose some generalizations for the treatment of interleaved        structures.</p>]]></description>

    <title>Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Signalling Text        Organisation: Introduction to the Special Issue</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="paragraphesansretrait"><em>Le lecteur trouvera une version française        de cette introduction ci-dessous.</em></p>        
      <p class="texte">Texts are organised wholes. Understanding a        text entails constructing a representation of its organisation.        Several research domains, with different assumptions and objectives,        have taken an interest in the devices which seem to help readers in        this process. As a consequence, research concerned with the signalling        of text organisation is far from constituting a unified field. The        notion of signal itself may be associated with different key concepts        according to discipline and theoretical underpinning: document        structure, discourse organisation, layout structure, text        architecture, etc. As far as function is concerned, signals may be        seen as discourse construction devices, as metadiscourse, as reading        or processing instructions, as traces of the writer’s cognitive        processes, as cues revealing the a...</p>]]></description>

    <title>Understanding How Headings Influence Text        Processing</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Titles and headings are commonly used        signaling devices in expository texts. Researchers in cognitive and        educational psychology have demonstrated several important effects of        headings and titles on text processing: headings improve memory for        text organization; headings influence text comprehension by activating        readers’ prior knowledge; and titles can bias text comprehension by        their emphasis on a particular text topic. However, the lack of        precise linguistic analyses of titles/headings has limited both the        scope of empirical research and the precision of conclusions. We        present a theory of signaling devices that provides a detailed        analysis of variation in titles and headings and generates predictions        concerning their effects. We discuss the implications of our analyses        for research on titles and headings and summarize recent research        findings that illustrate the validity of a ...</p>]]></description>

    <title>An Empirical Approach to the Signalling of        Enumerative Structures</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">This paper presents a data-intensive study        of the signalling of enumerative structures. In contrast with        semasiological studies of specific markers, the approach described        here takes as its starting point annotated structures and cues,        seeking to identify recurrent patterns in these data. To do so, it        exploits a new resource for French, the ANNODIS resource, a large        corpus of written texts manually annotated at discourse level. The        data analysed —first quantitatively with large populations, then        qualitatively on selected examples— allows the authors to illustrate        how cues involved in signalling text organisation combine in complex        ways metadiscourse and propositional content, or the textual and        ideational metafunctions.</p>]]></description>

    <title>Genre Realized in Theme: The Case of News Reports        and Commentaries</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">The purpose of this paper is to analyze how        the clausal thematic features observed in two newspaper genres —news        reports and commentaries— can be interpreted as textual signals of        their different generic characterization. This is done through the        qualitative and quantitative analysis of a sample consisting of        thirty-three English texts, divided into two groups of seventeen news        reports and sixteen commentaries, respectively. The analysis focused        on the following thematic features: (1) the experiential elements        selected as Thematic Heads; (2) the semantic nature of the nominal        elements realizing these Heads and their internal structure; (3) the        textual and interpersonal thematic choices as part of a multiple        theme. The analysis reveals that each newspaper genre prefers certain        thematic features and that the differences between the two genres are        statistically significant.

    <title>Signaling Elaboration: Combining French Gerund        Clauses with Lexical Cohesion Cues</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">In this paper, we focus on the <em>Elaboration</em> relation and        on its automatic identification in French, using the theoretical        framework of Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT). One of        the information sources identified by the SDRT framework to infer the        <em>Elaboration</em> relation        is based on the existence of a potential subsumption link between the        eventualities at stake, depending on lexical semantics and world        knowledge. We investigate this claim by combining a weak syntactic        marker of the <em>Elaboration</em> relation, namely the        gerund clause, with lexical cohesion cues. We aim at automatically        identifying gerund clauses which are <em>Elaborations </em>by finding cohesive links        between the host main clause and the gerund clause. This approach        makes it possible to accurately detect few cases of intra-sentential        <em>Elaborations</em> in our        corpus, confirming the fact that lexical cohesion cues a...</p>]]></description>
