....and McKeown, 1990) which has been largely descriptive, suggests factors such as structural features of the discourse (e.g. level of embedding and segment complexity) intentional and informational relations in that structure, ordering of relata, and syntactic form of discourse constituents. Moser and Moore (1995; 1997) coded a corpus of naturally occurring tutorial explanations for the range of features identified in prior work. Because they were also interested in the contrast between occurrence and non occurrence of cues, they exhaustively coded for all of the factors thought to contribute to cue usage in all ....
....learning experiments. 1 RDA is a scheme devised for analyzing tutorial explanations in the domain of electronics troubleshooting. It synthesizes ideas from (Grosz and Sidner, 1986) and from RST (Mann and Thompson, 1988) 1 For more detail about the RDA coding scheme see (Moser and Moore, 1995; Moser and Moore, 1997). Coders use RDA to exhaustively analyze each explanation in the corpus, i.e. every word in each explanation belongs to exactly one element in the analysis. An explanation may consist of multiple segments. Each segment originates with an intention of the speaker. Segments are internally ....
