Abstract Discourse segmentation is an important step in the process of annotating coherence relations. Ideally, implementing segmentation rules results in text segments that correspond to the units of thought related to each other. This paper demonstrates that accurate segmentation is in part dependent on the propositional content of text fragments, and that completely separating segmentation and annotation does not always yield text segments that correspond to the text units between which a conceptual relationship holds. In addition, it argues that elements belonging to the propositional content of the discourse should necessarily be included in the segmentation, but that inclusion of other text elements, for instance stance markers, should be optional.

细分语篇：将解释纳入细分吗？

摘要语篇分割是注释连贯关系过程中的重要步骤。理想情况下，实施分段规则会导致文本分段，这些文本分段对应于彼此相关的思维单元。本文证明了准确的分割部分取决于文本片段的命题内容，而将分割和注释完全分开并不总是产生与概念关系所处的文本单元相对应的文本片段。另外，它认为，属于话语命题内容的元素必须包含在分割中，但是其他文本元素（例如，姿势标记）的包含应该是可选的。
