7. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have argued that two of the most important theories of discourse structure in computational linguistics, G&amp;S and RST, are not incompatible, but in fact have considerable common ground. The key to the basic similarity between these two theories is understanding the correspondence between the notions of dominance in G&amp;S and nuclearity in RST. Understanding this correspondence between the theories will enable computational models that effectively synthesize the contributions of the theories, and thereby are useful both for interpretation and generation of discourse.</Paragraph>
