--- abstract: 'Punctuation marks have recently attracted attention within the linguistics community mostly from a syntactic perspective. In this paper, we aim to give a preliminary account of information-based aspects of punctuation marks, drawing our points from examples and links with related phenomena such as intonation. We give our initial treatment within the Discourse Representation Theory.' altloc: - http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~akman/conf-papers/icml96/icml96.ps chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: May 2-4 conference: "ICML '96: Second International Conference on Mathematical Linguistics" confloc: 'Tarragona, Spain' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Say given: Bilge honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Akman given: Varol honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1996 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-07-07 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/02/10 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 210 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_postscript.png;/210/2/icml96.ps full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'punctuation, discourse, information, DRT (discourse representation theory).' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:44 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 93-94 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: 'GRLMC (Grup de Recerca en Linguistica Matematica i Enginyeria del Llenguatge), Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain' refereed: FALSE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 10 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:25:14 subjects: - ling-comput - ling-sem succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: An Information-Based Treatment of Punctuation type: confpaper userid: 178 volume: ~
