Bill Mann's Linguistic Home Page
Modified August 2003 This page is a personal linguistically oriented home page at USC. It is one of several places where new personal linguistic work appears. (Navigation to the others is below.) It also carries some old previously inaccessible work.
It is organized by topics as follows:
- Functions and Discourse Structure of Monologue Text: Publications, RST, Memos
- Human Dialogue: Publications, Memos, also Work earlier than Dialogue Macrogame Theory
- Intentions and Coherence: Publications, Memos, Interests
- Communication and Linguistics: Memos, Interests
There is no unified Publications page.
Is this the Bill Mann you are thinking of, William C. Mann?

There are three other independent websites containing material not included here. There is a site devoted to Dialogue Macrogame Theory (DMT),
and one intended to assist researchers in dialogue data finding, the Dialogue Diversity Corpus (DDC).
A third site is devoted to Rhetorical Structue Theory (RST).
The normal public location for this website is http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~billmann/WMlinguistic .
