Navigating text using an extended discourse tree. In an example, a method accesses an extended discourse tree that includes a first discourse tree for a first document and a second discourse tree for a second document. The method determines a first elementary discourse unit that is responsive to a query from a user device and a corresponding first position. The method further determines a set of navigation options including a first rhetorical relationship between the first elementary discourse unit and a second elementary discourse unit of the first discourse tree and a second rhetorical relationship between the first elementary discourse unit and a third elementary discourse unit of the second discourse tree. The method presents the rhetorical relationships to a user device. Responsive to receiving, from a user device, a selection of a rhetorical relationship, the method presents a corresponding elementary discourse unit to the user device.
