    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we ln:OpOSC further a breakdown of the im~sentational relations in liST into their subschenms.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The subschenias represeut strategies by which two states/actions/events which stand in certaill senmn tic relationships cau be used t.cJ attniu inte,ldcd eFli~cts on readers By associating the definitions of the relations with formally stated const\]'ainl,s, these subschemas help hUllUtll analysts to recognise them in texts, and thus improw: lIST as an analytical tool, Moreover, because characterisation o\[ clatlSeS ill So(&gt; lion 3, especially Modality and Tense/Aspect, are accompanied hy their actual linguistic rcalisal;ions, some parts of the consl, raints staled ill SccLion 4 can readily I)e associated with texl;ual \['orms and be used \[or \[,ext processing systems. Although constraints on semantic relM;ions bel;wecn (~ont,ents can only be evahml, ed by refin'ence to a knowledge base, we expect that, ewm without constraints on semailtic rel~d, ions, the other constraints can be used I;o restrict a set of l&gt;ossible inter-clausal sl,rltcl,/lres of texts.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> We imve detlncd four presenLat.ioual relat, ions in RS'I? lnore formally a.nd analysed a sample I;exl using these definitions. But the delinitions do not cover all the r&lt;&gt; lations iu ItST ~l, lld \[lil, vc IlOl, bcA;ll widely tested. After defiuing all t.he relations, wc will apply tlmm Io amdyse a. full range of I;exl;.</Paragraph>
