In addition to methods of formal syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, strongly empirically oriented subdisciplines of linguistics such as corpuslinguistics and psycholinguistics have provided central insights for the study of linguistic phenomena beyond the sentence level. It is also necessary to include typological and variationist perspectives to identify the full range and the relative impact of factors and means exploited in the structuring of text in the languages of the world. The program for the meeting is now available at the conference web site at: http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~text2010/ We would like to ask all participants to register via the online registration form: https://lotus1.gwdg.de/uni/uzct/ts_2010_07.nsf/registration?OpenForm Manfred Sailer (for the organizers) Detailed program: Thursday, July 1 12:00-12:50 Lunch/registration 12:50 Opening 13:00-14:00 Invited talk: Erhard Hinrichs (Tübingen): Theories of Discourse Structures 14:00-14:40 Stefanie Simon, Yannick Versley, and Erhard Hinrichs (Tübingen): Annotation of Temporal Connectives in the TüBa-D/Z Treebank: A Pilot Study 14:40-15:20 Ana Teresa Alves (Azores): On the Sensitivity of Temporal Markers to Discourse Structure 15:20-15:50 Coffee 15:50-16:30 Christian Rathmann (Hamburg): Strategies of Temporal Interpretation in Texts in Signed Languages 16:30-17:10 Annika Herrmann (Göttingen): Focus Particles in Signed Discourse 17:10-18:10 Invited talk: Josep Quer (Barcelona): Reporting in Signed Discourse Friday, July 2 9:00-10:00 Invited talk: Barbara Kaup (Tübingen): The Experiential-simulations View of Discourse Comprehension 10:00-10:40 Susana Ruiz Fernández, I.
