The Discourse structure of Turkish Demirşahin, Işın; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015) This thesis investigates the structure of immediate discourse in Turkish.

If there is structure in discourse, what is the nature of this structure, and what is its complexity? For this purpose, we analyze the relations annotated in the Turkish Discourse Bank,...
