Building up rhetorical structure trees

Abstract

I use the distinction between the nuclei and the satellites that pertain to discourse relations to introduce a com-positionality criterion for discourse trees. I provide a first-order formalization of rhetorical structure trees and, on its basis, I derive an algorithm that constructs all the valid rhetorical trees that can be associated with a given discourse.
