本文提出了一个综合分析会话英语语料库中信息结构的语篇特征和韵律特征的框架。信息结构描述了语篇模型中实体的可用性、组织和显著程度。我们给出了信息状态(旧的、中介的和新的)标注的标准，并给出了标注信息结构的指导原则，即主位/述位和背景/背景。我们发现，英语中的信息结构只能与韵律突显和短语同时进行分析。这种标注在NXT中使用了标准的XML，有助于为语篇中的信息结构标注建立标准。
We present a framework for the integrated analysis of the textual and prosodic characteristics of information structure in the Switchboard corpus of conversational English. Information structure describes the availability, organisation and salience of entities in a discourse model. We present standards for the annotation of information status (old, mediated and new), and give guidelines for annotating information structure, i.e. theme/rheme and back-ground/kontrast. We show that information structure in English can only be analysed concurrently with prosodic prominence and phrasing. This annotation, using stand-off XML in NXT, can help establish standards for the annotation of information structure in discourse.
