Abstract

Nowadays discourse parsing is a very prominent research topic. However, there is not a discourse parser for Spanish texts. The first stage in order to develop this tool is discourse segmentation. In this work, we present DiSeg, the first discourse segmenter for Spanish that uses the framework of the Rhetorical Structure Theory (Mann and Thompson, 1988) and is based on lexical and syntactic rules. We describe the system and we evaluate its performance with a gold standard corpus, obtaining promising results.
