Avoiding and Resolving Initiative Conflicts in Dialogue

چکیده
In this paper, we report on an empirical study on initiative conflicts in human-human conversation. We examined these conflicts in two corpora of task-oriented dialogues. The results show that conversants try to avoid initiative conflicts, but when these conflicts occur, they are efficiently resolved by linguistic devices, such as volume.

متن کاملUptake by Conditional Obligations
Dialogues are generated in a joint process of offering and accepting moves. Depending on the dialogue genre, there is usually one participant who takes the initiative; other participants respond to the initiative. In this paper, we further investigate the process of uptake [1, 4]. Essentially, an initiative is ambivalent. The way in which an initiative is ‘taken up’, allows the responder to mod...
