    • ABSTRACT: The goal of the PDTB project is to develop a large scale corpus annotated with information related to discourse structure. While there are many aspects of discourse that are crucial to a complete understanding of natural language, the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB) focuses on encoding coherence relations associated with discourse connectives. The annotations include the argument structure of the connectives, thus exposing a clearly defined level of discourse structure which will support the extraction of a range of inferences associated with discourse connectives. Some other annotated features associated with discourse connectives and their arguments include sense distinctions for discourse connectives, and attribution-related features for both connectives and their arguments.
