Contextual Rules for Text Analysis

In this paper we describe a rule-based formalism for the analysis and labelling of texts segments. The rules are contextual rewriting rules with a restricted form of negation. They allow to underspecify text segments not considered relevant to a given task and to base decisions upon context. A parser for these rules is presented and consistence and completeness issues are discussed. Some results of an implementation of this parser with a set of rules oriented to the segmentation of texts in propositions are shown.
