With a growing number of BERTology work analyzing different components of pre-trained language models, we extend this line of research through an in-depth analysis of discourse information in pre-trained and fine-tuned language models. We move beyond prior work along three dimensions: First, we describe a novel approach to infer discourse structures from arbitrarily long documents. Second, we propose a new type of analysis to explore where and how accurately intrinsic discourse is captured in the BERT and BART models. Finally, we assess how similar the generated structures are to a variety of baselines as well as their distribution within and between models.
