ABSTRACT 

An experimental analyzer for Japanese text which extracts "discourse struc-
ture" that expresses rhetorical and logical relation between sentences in the 
text.

We formalized the constraints on the discourse structure detected by rhetor-
ical expressions in the text, and the preference rules to the local structure 
depending on the occurrence of predefined surface expressions such as con-
nectives.
