Framework for a model of dialogue (original) (raw)

This paper presents a general model of communication specifically applied to dialogue, aiming to incorporate non-verbal communicative acts relevant to person-machine interactions. The proposed model utilizes a double description of dialogue: a syntactic analysis of dialogue structure and a semantic-pragmatic description that contextualizes communication. Key components include meaningful expressions, communicative acts, and communicative situations, emphasizing the dynamic nature of interpretation based on context and the relevance of various properties in a communicative situation.
