Annotating logical structure in a corpus of information leaflets

This work was undertaken within the ICONOCLAST Project, EPSRC Grant L77102.

In this paper, we report on the task of annotating the logical structure in a corpus of information leaflets. We discuss some problems for identifying this structure in that particular genre. We argue that there is a need to understand better the communicative functions of layout in that genre.
