Applications of Rhetorical Structure Theory

Maite Taboada

INDEPENDENT RESEARCHER

Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) is a theory of text organization that has led to areas of application beyond discourse analysis and text generation, its original goals. In this article, we review the most important applications in several areas: discourse analysis, theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics. We also provide a list of resources useful for work within the RST framework. The present article is a complement to our review of the theoretical aspects of the theory (Taboada and Mann, 2006).

Key Words: argumentation • coherence relations • computational linguistics • corpus analysis • cross-linguistic discourse analysis • Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST)
