his paper summarizes work over the past five years on the automated planning

and generation of multisentence texts using discourse structure relations,

placing it in context of ongoing efforts by computational linguists and linguists to
understand the structure of discourse. Based on a series of studies by the
author and others, the paper describes how the orientation of generation toward
communicative intentions illuminates the central structural role played by
intersegment discourse relations. It outlines several facets of discourse
structure relations as they are required by and used in text planners—their
nature, number, and extension to associated tasks such as sentence planning
and text formatting.
