The contribution presents the prepared complex text annotations in the Prague Dependency Treebank (topic-focus articulation, coreference and bridging anaphora, discourse relations) and proposes solutions of the following theoretical and practical questions that arise from the interplay of the syntactic and discourse structure: advantages and disadvantages of text annotation on linear text compared to tectogrammatical trees (importance of the syntactic information for the interpretation of the discourse structure), the discrepancy between syntactic and discourse structure concerning the surface position of a discourse connective, and an unexpressed thought or assumption as a discourse argument.
