Anna Feltracco et al., « Lexical Opposition in Discourse Contrast », Accademia University Press, ID : 10.4000/books.aaccademia.3339
We investigate the connection between lexical opposition and discourse relations, with a focus on the relation of contrast, in order to evaluate whether opposition participates in discourse relations. Through a corpus-based analysis of Italian documents, we show that the relation between opposition and contrast is not crucial, although not insignificant in the case of implicit relation. The correlation is even weaker when other discourse relations are taken into account.
