From: Building a Chinese discourse topic corpus with a micro-topic scheme based on theme-rheme theory
An example of discourse topic structure in MTS with the corresponding discourse rhetorical structure. According to a connective-driven dependency tree (CDT) scheme, connectives were directly used to represent the hierarchy structure of a CDT and the rhetorical relation of a discourse, as shown in part (a) of this Figure. Part (b) in this Fig. 1 gives an example of MTS representation, corresponding to Example 10 shown in manuscript. It consists of 7 clauses, excerpted from chtb0001 which is from OntoNotes corpus. Here, a clause is equivalent to an EDTU, which is constituted by a theme and a rheme, denoted by Tx and Rx, respectively
