Social constraints on rhetorical relations in dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
In dialogue a set of actions are realized by linguistic means, and have consequences on the state of the interaction between two speakers. Analysing the interaction, the emphasis can be put on the effects on the mental states of the participants or on the social effects of dialogue acts (obligations, commitments) resulting from conventions. We try here to relate a formal semantics approach to discourse (SDRT) with a concern for the social conventions bearing on participants via the notion of commitment to what has been said, recorded in a conversational gameboard.

Rhetorical Control of Semantic Ellipsis in Language Generation for Multi-Party Human-Computer Dialogue
This paper addresses semantic ellipsis control in language generation for humancomputer dialogue. For this, the rhetorical structure of the dialogue is used, as well as a repository of facts that are accepted by the recipient of the utterance. Rhetorical structure is represented in the framework of SDRT, where rhetorical relations are grouped in “confirmation” and “contradiction” relations; the...
متن کاملPredicting Dialogue Outcomes over Structured Latent Representations
Studying dialogue relations as a complex structured output prediction problem, independently of the dialogue outcome, has been the focus of significant research efforts, such as discourse relations [9], rhetorical structure [8, 1] and dialogue act modeling [13]. While these works capture linguisticallymotivated fine-grained dialogue relations, they require considerable effort and linguistic kno...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Automatically Generating Multi-Modal Dialogue from Text
In this article, we propose a novel method for generating engaging multi-modal content automatically from text. Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) is used to decompose text into discourse units and to identify rhetorical discourse relations between them. Rhetorical relations are then mapped to question–answer pairs in an information preserving way, i.e., the original text and the resulting dialo...
متن کاملUsing Speech Acts in Logic-Based Rhetorical Structuring for Natural Language Generation in Human-Computer Dialogue
Usually, human-computer dialogue systems rely on ad-hoc solutions for the component performing speech turn generation, in natural language. However, integration of taskspecific and general world knowledge in order to provide a more reliable and natural interaction with humans also through more sophisticated language generation techniques becomes needed. In this paper we present performance impr...
متن کاملRhetorical Replica (Badal Bilaqi) and Its Variants in Hafez’s Sonnets
One of the stylistic features of Hafez’s sonnets is the repetition of a part of the meaning of the first line in the second line. His knowledge of the rhetorical and semantic relations of vocabularies enabled him to repeat the meaning with the least verbal repetition. One of the ways that has helped him to achieve this goal is replicating the concepts in two parts of the couplet based on rhetor...
