6 Summary
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Since the semantic relations exhibited by re-linkage vary so diversely, it has been claimed that the interpreter must infer the intended relationship on the basis of extralinguistic knowledge. The particulars of individual common sense knowledge are crucial to understanding any discourse (Hobbs et al., 1993; Asher and Lascarides, 1995). Nevertheless, one can, through the use of the relevant structures of events, eliminate a very large number of rules for calculating the plausible relations.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Although we have concentrated on re-linkage in this paper, we consider that the method can be applied to pure parataxis with necessary modifications. For the relations we have examined are not attributable to the meaning of te itself (though it restricts the range of them), but are implicated by the linked conjuncts. The same is true of English and.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> In both and- and re-linkage, the perceived coherence relations are present even if the linked constitutes are in pure parataxis without and or re. Thus, this approach can be extended so as to detect the whole discourse structure, though further study must be done to examine all relations.</Paragraph>
