A discourse relation (also coherence relation or rhetorical relation) is a description of how two segments of discourse are logically and/or structurally connected to one another.
The analysis highlights Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT) and Overview as prominent areas in the source structure around Discourse relation.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
