    Dear all,

    I am about to build a tool for the automatic annotation of information
    structure (with notions like theme, rheme, focus, topic, link, background,
    etc.) in a corpus of German newspaper texts.

    Looking for

    1) other approaches towards automatic and manual annotation of information
    structure
      and
    2) corpora annotated with notions of information structure

    I was a bit astonished about the rather poor outcome of my search (see below).

    Do you know of any more relevant works or corpora?

    Thanks,
    Michael
