Discourse processing is the processing involved as comprehenders build meaning across several sentences or utterances. In doing so, comprehenders must keep information active in memory so that it can be retrieved to support the understanding of later sentences, and draw inferences where necessary to maintain the coherence of the discourse.

Discourse processing draws upon extensive cognitive processing, including manipulation of lexical semantic operations, organization and monitoring of information, and inferring implied meanings (e.g., Wapner et al., 1981; Hinchliffe et al., 1998; Copland et al., 2002; Chapman et al., 2004 ). Evidence of supportive and positive relations between ...

Within NLP, the term used to describe aggregated forms of language is discourse. The term encompasses both written text, such as stories, and spoken communication among multiple people or artificial agents. When the communication involves multiple parties engaging in interactive communication, we refer to these extended exchanges as dialog.
Discourse researchers investigate the cognitive representation of these levels and the process of constructing them during comprehension. Comprehension frequently is successful at all levels, but sometimes there are communication misalignments, information gaps, ungrounded symbols, and other comprehension obstacles that increase processing time ...
May 10, 2024 · Discourse processing is a suite of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks to uncover linguistic structures from texts at several levels, which can support many downstream applications. This involves identifying the topic structure, the coherence structure, the coreference structure, and the conversation structure for conversational discourse.
Research on discourse processing over the last 30 years has actively pursued efforts to unveil the processes through which “text” is progressively reconstructed in readers' minds based on the information retained in the “reconstructed text.”. The central research issues include how text information is represented in memory, how ...
