Machine generated contents note: Introduction / Manfred Stede -- Processing narrative texts: Melting frozen time? / Berry Claus -- Through narrative planning towards the preverbal message: A DRT-based approach / Antje Rodeutscher -- Bridges between events: Frame semantics and indirect anaphora / Matthias Irmer -- semantics of French continuative rises in SDRT / Mathilde Dargnat -- Coherence structure and lexical cohesion in expository and persuasive texts / Gisela Redeker -- Complex connectives in German: Complications for local coherence analysis / Kristin Irsig -- Differential properties of three discourse connectives in Turkish: A corpus-based analysis of Fakat, Yoksa, Ayrica / Ruket Caktct -- Appositive relative clauses and their competing allostructures in English: An information-packaging approach / Rudy Loock.

Summary: The goal of this paper is to compare appositive relative clauses (henceforth ARCs) to other structures that convey the same information, in order to determine the morphosyntactic, semantic and above all pragmatic factors conditioning the choice of structure. Alternatives to ARCs examined here include sentential parentheticals, juxtaposed/coordinated independent clauses, adverbials or noun modifiers which, along with ARCs, can be considered competing allostructures representing the different possible syntactic realizations of the same informational, logico-semantic content. Setting register-rel.
