  2. The Right Frontier Constraint Holds Unconditionally Dan Cristea Lucrare care ar fi trebuit să fie prezentată la MAD-05, Berlin www.infoiasi.ro/~dcristea/publications.html

  3. The Right Frontier Constraint • As an attachment constraint in an incremental development of a tree structure: • adjunction of an auxiliary tree on a node of a developing tree can be made only on a node belonging to the right frontier of the developing tree

  4. The Right Frontier Constraint • As a referential constraint defining the regions of the discourse model • …

  5. Anaphora and Discourse Constraints Nicholas Asher(University of Texas)  “Over a decade of work on the relation between semantics and discourse has established the Right Frontier Constraint as a well confirmed linguistic constraint on discourse structure. After formulating the Right Frontier Constraint in a precise fashion and reviewing the evidence for if from a variety of sources, I want to consider some challenges to it. I will look at two sorts of troubling phenomena: the first is the way presuppositions and anaphoric definite descriptions can affect discourse structure and hence the Right Frontier Constraint, the second has to do with the way locality can sometimes seem to override the Right Frontier Constraint. I will then reformulate the Right Frontier Constraint so as to take account of the data.”

  6. RFC can be violated!… From (Sassen&Kühnlein, 2005) a. B: would you say that I’m indeed only jealous? c. B: do you have another consultation hour scheduled soon? b. A: Try to be with yourself after all you’re heading for your final degree! b. B: mhm, well, but concentrating on my studies often doesn’t work c. A: yes, always on Monday. a. A: only jealous that would already suffice as problem, but I think there is more to it.

  7. RFC as conditional • …v. CICling 2005

  8. Principle of Sequentiality A left-to-right reading of the terminal frontier of a discourse tree associated to a text corresponds to the span of text analysed, in the same linear order. (Marcu, 2000), etc.

  10. The Right Frontier Property At any step of an incremental discourse parsing, if the DT does not contain substitution nodes, the SP is observed if and only if all operations are adjoinings of left-footed ATs onto nodes of the right frontier of the DT.

  14. RFC can be violated!… a. B: I’ve recently felt confused when seeing Maria talking with Michael. b. B: The reason I’m asking your advise is that I’ll have my degree in June and right now I’m not in my best shape. a. A: oh yea, then, what we have here is a nice case of jealousy. a. B: would you say that I’m indeed only jealous? c. B: do you have another consultation hour scheduled soon? b. A: Try to be with yourself after all you’re heading for your final degree! b. B: mhm, well, but concentrating on my studies often doesn’t work c. A: yes, always on Monday. a. A: only jealous that would already suffice as problem, but I think there is more to it.

  26. Splitting ab1. A: so, you didn’t know that I finished with Michael?! ab2 A: it happened last month after I came back from Mexico. a3. B: oh, I’m sorry, are you still mourning after him or you have already someone else? a4. A: negative! I’m ok but need a period of loneliness. a5. B: you cannot resist long like this. I know you… b3. B: so, have you seen the pyramids there?

How could Mexico be evoked by theresince it belongs to a span which is closed ?

  30. Referential means • Weak • pronouns (including zero) • demonstratives • Strong • proper nouns • noun phrases (bridges or coreferential) Nothing is really forgotten…

  31. Conclusions • RFC holds! • not only because a whole class of dedicated scholars have found examples to support it • because there is a simple theoretical proof for it • Discourse should be represented by graphs, not trees • Not only chats, but long discourses too • Graphs can represent multi-threads: • splitting a thread onto two • merging two distinct threads onto one • interruptions and flashbacks • there are more developing Right Frontiers on a discourse graph • hopping from a RF to another needs strong referential means
