From our corpus analysis, we have identified the six most prevalent discourse relations in this blog dataset, namely comparison, contingency, illustration, attribution, topic-opinion, and attributive. The comparison, contingency, and illustration relations are also considered by most of the work in the field of discourse analysis such as the PDTB: Penn Discourse TreeBank research group <cite>(Prasad et al., 2008)</cite> and the RST Discourse Treebank research group (Carlson and Marcu, 2001 ).
