Zusammenfassung

Global discourse structures and local discourse relations are complementary modes of textual organization which an automated text generation system must account for and treat as interactive knowledge resources. To illustrate this interaction, we analyse a medical case report in terms of the two approaches. The results of the analysis will help to show how both kinds of structures are necessary for descriptive and text generation purposes.
