  abstract  = {In this paper, we present an approach to exploit phrase tables generated by
	statistical machine translation in order to map French discourse connectives to
	discourse relations. Using this approach, we created DisCoRel, a lexicon of
	French discourse connectives and their PDTB relations. When evaluated against 
	LEXCONN, DisCoRel achieves a recall of 0.81 and an Average Precision of 0.68
	for the Concession and Condition relations.},
