Communication is a goal–directed activity. In general, it can serve multiple purposes, e.g. information transfer, expression of emotions, making promises,... According to H.P. Grice (1989), if communication is to be successful, the specific purpose of the communicative act has to be known and accepted by all participants. Hence, for a participant to be cooperative (i.e. willing to make the comm...

This paper outlines the general approach taken to dialogue management for robustness in the recently started ESPRITII project, PLUS (P5254). The goal of the project is the production of a robust natural language dialogue system integrating linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge in a principled way, based on the pragmatics theories of Grice and Searle, and using results in knowledge-base manage...

This discussion takes the position that information retrieval systems are fundamentally linguistic in nature in essence, the languages of document representation and searching are dialects of natural language. Because of this, the discipline of the Philosophy of Language should have some bearing on the problems of document representation and search query formulation. The philosophies of Austin,...

Since Horn (1972) the notion of conversational implicature proposed by Grice has been put to use to explain certain interpretive differences between expressions in natural language and their counterparts in formal logic. For example, the sentences in (1) seem to convey more than they would be expected to if the natural language disjunction or had the same meaning as the logical disjunction∨, or...

Information Systems Actability Theory is a theory based on language action theories (e.g. Searle and Habermas) and other social action theories (e.g. Weber and Schutz). In ISAT, different actors’ work with (computerised) information systems is considered to be action directed towards humans. Phenomena related to human action and communication between humans are set in focus. This paper proposes...

Grice’s maxims of conversation [Grice 1975] are framed as directives to be followed by a speaker of the language. This paper argues that, when considered from the point of view of natural language generation, such a characterisation is rather misleading, and that the desired behaviour falls out quite naturally if we view language generation as a goal-oriented process. We argue this position wit...
