Effects of Topical Structure on Discourse Comprehension and Production (Text Analysis)
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study began with two purposes. One was to develop a scheme for the analysis of discourse structure called "topical structure," and the other was to test the psychological validity of the developed analytic scheme. "Topic" at the sentence level and "discourse topic" at the discourse level were the two notions used in analyzing a discourse into units, and constructing the topical structure of the discourse, focusing on the representations of (1) the relative importance of information at sentence level, (2) the sequential connectivity between sentences, and (3) the discourse topic in terms of the topics in sentences.
