Types of DSDs annotated:
Taking a semasiological approach, the discourse-pragmatic functions of a few selected DSDs are annotated (those multifunctional Hungarian DSDs that have not been studied earlier in detail), including intra- and intersentential types.
Number of DSD instances:
557 (currently in the latest version)
Style/theory of annotation:
a combination and adaptation of Speech Act Theory (Bach & Harnisch 1979), the discourse-pragmatic models of Schiffrin (1987, 2006) and a computational pragmatic model proposed by Petukhova & Bunt (2009)
