Reassessing Rhetorical Abstractions and Planning Mechanisms
نویسنده
چکیده
The utihty of rhetorical abstractions and certain text planning mechanisms were assessed from the standpoint of accounting for how an explainer chooses and structures content under multiple perspectives to meet knowledge communication goals. This paper discusses ways in which they were found to be inadequate, argues for greater emphasis on an epistemological level of analysis, and proposes a mixed architecture matching computational mechanisms to the explanation planning subtasks they are suited for.
