Formalizing the Dynamics of Semantic Sys- tems in Dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semantic change happens both in the long term (over years and decades) and in the very short term (in a single dialogue)1. An exploratory study of a Map Task dialogue indicates that dialogue participants coordinate on an ad-hoc vocabulary and associated concepts (meanings) to enable information exchange, and that adhoc vocabularies can be cobbled together from a heterogeneous mix of “microvocabularies” borrowed from various other (a priori unrelated) domains. To account for these observations, I outline an abstract and general formal account of how the meanings of natural language expressions (typically, words) can change as a result of their use in dialogue. The account has two parts, one semantic and one pragmatic. In the semantics part, a basic framework for formalising updates to semantic systems in dialogue is sketched. In the pragmatics part, semantic updates are related to interactional processes of semantic coordination in dialogue, such as feedback, negotiation and accommodation.

متن کاملMatchmaking: dialogue modelling and speech generation meet
This article is concerned with determining the constraints on the selection of appropriate intonation in speech generation in humanmachine information seeking dialogues. The two pillars of our sys tem--a state-of-theart computational dialogue model and a state-of-the-art NL generator--are presented. Based on this, we determine the kinds of linguistic and pragmatic knowledge needed to sufficient...
