The goal of this project is to filter out linguistic and contextual features on which the linguistic realisation and interpretation of discourse relations is based – or put differently, which features make language users opt for the assignment of one particular discourse relation rather than another. A more empirically oriented aspect of this goal is to examine the linguistic coding and signalling of discourse relations in English discourse within an overall theory of discourse, comparing their linguistic realisation in different discourse genres and different production formats. The results will provide empirical confirmation for constraints on discourse structure and thus refine discourse grammar – the project’s more theoretically oriented goal –, thereby re-evaluating taken-for-granted premises, in particular (1) granularity and discourse unit, spanning from micro to macro units, and (2) “discursive glue”, that is linguistic and contextual material which contributes to the construal of discourse coherence. Discourse relations are one important type of discursive glue; others are linguistic context, social context and presupposition.
