Autism and Interactional Aspects of Dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Little research has been done to explore differences in the interactional aspects of dialogue between children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and those with typical development (TD). Quantifying the differences could aid in diagnosing ASD, understanding its nature, and better understanding the mechanisms of dialogue processing. In this paper, we report on a study of dialogues with children with ASD and TD. We find that the two groups differ substantially in how long they pause before speaking, and their use of fillers, acknowledgments, and discourse markers.

This article, which presents a case study of a six-year-old child with autism, examines how social interaction organizes autism echolalia and how repetitive speech re...
متن کاملInteractional Dynamics and the Emergence of Language Games
Meaning is highly activity-specific, in that the action that a particular sequence of words is taken to perform is severely underdetermined in the absence of an overarching activity, or a ‘language-game’. In this paper, we combine a formal, incremental model of interactional dynamics and contextual update Dynamic Syntax and Type Theory with Records (DSTTR) with Reinforcement Learning for word s...
متن کاملModelling dialogue: Challenges and Aproaches
Modelling dialogue, that is, designing formal systems that reproduce aspects of natural conversation, is a challenging task. Not only must a dialogue model be able to handle most (if not all) of the linguistic phenomena that make monological discourse hard to model (e.g., anaphora, presuppositions, implicatures), there are also additional requirements: unlike (written) text, dialogue unfolds in...
