Multifunctionality and multidimensional dialogue semantics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the following questions: (1) Is it true, as is often claimed, that utterances in dialogue tend to have multiple functions? (2) If so, then what are the reasons for that? (3) How many functions does a dialogue utterance typically have, and which factors determine this? (4) What consequences does this have for the computational semantics of dialogue utterances? Answers to these questions are sought by investigating a dialogue corpus annotated with communicative functions using various segmentation and annotation

Multifunctionality in dialogue
This paper studies the multifunctionality of dialogue utterances, i.e. the phenomenon that utterances in dialogue often have more than one communicative function. It is argued that this phenomenon can be explained by analyzing the participation in dialogue as involving the performance of several types of activity in parallel, relating to different dimensions of communication. The multifunctiona...
متن کاملA Multidimensional Approach to Multimodal Dialogue Act Annotation
This paper investigates the benefits of multidimensional approaches to dialogue act annotation, and the advantages of using layered multidimensional ’open’ dialogue act taxonomies. We performed a comparative analysis of a one-dimensional and two multidimensional dialogue act annotation schemes, and concluded that not only does a multidimensional approach support a more accurate analysis of huma...
متن کاملTowards a Multidimensional Semantics of Discourse Markers in Spoken Dialogue
The literature contains a wealth of theoretical and empirical analyses of discourse marker functions in human communication. Some of these studies address the phenomenon that discourse markers are often multifunctional in a given context, but do not study this in systematic and formal ways. In this paper we show that the use of multiple dimensions in distinguishing and annotating semantic units...

The production of public goods like amenity value of the landscape, food security, preservation of rural communities and rural lifestyle, by agricultural sector is a subject that has been widely accepted by experts. However, in many policies and political analyses carried out, solely the production of private goods by the agricultural sector is paid attention and the important function of publi...
متن کاملDialectical Characterization of Consistent Query Explanation with Existential Rules
This paper provides a dialectical characterization of IAR and Brave semantics via argumentation dialogue. We propose a minimal argumentation dialogue system and investigate the relation between its outcome and these semantics. We show that Brave semantics corresponds to a dialogue where the opponent of the Brave-entailed query wins in any dialogue. We show also that IAR semantics corresponds to...
