Based on "Using Syntax to Disambiguate Explicit Discourse Connectives in Text" by Emily Pitler & Ani Nenkova (ACL 2009)

About

This tool identifies discourse connectives (words like "but", "however", "because", "as") and classifies their semantic sense:

  • Expansion: additive relations (and, also, furthermore)
  • Contingency: causal relations (because, if, since)
  • Comparison: contrast relations (but, however, although)
  • Temporal: time relations (when, before, after)
