 LINGUIST List 14.292: Discourse Analysis: Schlangen "A Coherence..."   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
We argue that consequently only a theory that has at its disposal a wide array of information sources - from syntax through compositional and lexical semantics to domain and world knowledge, and reasoning about cognitive states - can do justice to the complexity of their interpretation.
It is the centrality of the notion of coherence and the feature of having access to different kinds of information which distinguishes our theory from prior attempts.
In this thesis, we offer an analysis of the syntax of fragments, of their compositional semantics, and we provide a computational and formally precise theory of how the compositional semantics is supplemented with further content via reasoning about the context - both linguistic and non-linguistic.
