Abstract
The XML tagging resources provided here support discourse analysis of research papers using the Information-Argument-Rhetorical Structure framework used in Dr Wei-Ning Cheng's thesis. The Information-Argument-Rhetorical Structure framework specifies 3 layers of discourse analysis: 1. Information structure analysis 2. Argument structure analysis 3. Rhetorical structure analysis The framework was derived from an analysis of the Abstract, Introduction and Literature Review sections of 30 sociology, mechanical engineering and bioscience research papers (10 each). The framework was applied to an additional 100 sociology research papers, and refined. Further work on mechanical engineering and bioscience papers are planned. A major step in the discourse analysis is to tag text spans (usually noun phrases, clauses and single words) in the text (in XML format) with XML tags that reference elements in the Information-Argument-Rhetorical Structure framework, using an XML editor software (e.g., oXygen XML editor).
