Title
A Study of the Context(s) in a Specific Type of Texts: Car Accident Reports
Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of defining con- text, and more specifically the different con- texts needed for understanding a particular type of texts. The corpus chosen is homoge- neous and allows us to determine characteristic properties of the texts from which certain in- ferences can be drawn by the reader. These characteristic properties come from the real world domain (K-context), the type of events the texts describe (F-context) and the genre of the texts (E-context). Together, these three contexts provide elements for the resolution of anaphoric expressions and for several types of disambiguation. We show in particular that the argumentation aspect of these texts is an essen- tial part of the context and explains some of the inferences that can be drawn.
