✦ Synopsis


A taxonomy of explanatory links connecting sentences in expository texts is presented . It is also shown that there are two types of knowledge , which we have called analytical and empirical knowledge in analogy to the distinction between analytical and empirical sentences , that allow us to find and learn the explanatory connections . The role that the notion of analyticity plays in learning explanatory connections from expository texts is also emphasized . A program that embodies the ideas and that finds and learns explanatory connections in expository texts is also briefly explained .
