Empirical Methods in Discourse: Limits and Prospects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We claim that the methods used in approaches to discourse all display in rather acute form the gap between theory and evidence that is common in many areas of cognitive science. We propose enhancing the existing approaches with a simulation-based approach combining computational work in generation and interpretation, and discuss some of the issues in the design of a simulation architecture.

متن کاملAnswerability, Dialogized Heteroglossia, and Context Multiplicity: A Post-Bakhtinian Study of Novelistic Discourse
In light of the Bakhtinian heteroglossia and authorial hybrid construction, the present study sets out to argue how the assimilation of alien stylistics into the realm of social and ideological discourse may transcend the limits of the centralizing logos prevalent in the orthodox poetics. In so doing, first, an analysis of the Bakhtinian concepts is provided to renegotiate his argument on the a...

Empirical data on the properties of novel scintillators have been presented confirming the possibility of the R...
متن کاملEmpirical Studies In Discourse
Computational theories of discourse are concerned with the context-based interpretation or generation of discourse phenomena in text and dialogue. In the past, research in this area focused on specifying the mechanisms underlying particular discourse phenomena; the models proposed were often motivated by a few constructed examples. While this approach led to many theoretical advances, models de...
