A Lexicon of German discourse markers.
This repository contains two versions of the lexicon.
DimLex.xml contains the 'original' version.
For the ConAno annotation tool
(Stede and Heintze 2004, download),
the file ConAnoConnectorLexicon.xml was generated from the original
using an XSLT stylesheet (dimlex2conano.xsl).
(Slight modifications were made to the ConAno version after the conversion.)
