On Dialogue Cohesion

چکیده

It has been claimed that conversations is the basic form of social organization (cf.Schegloff (1986) and it seems correct to say that conversation, or with a more general term dialogue (from the Greek dia logos through words), exhibits characteristics which are basic to social organization. It coordinates information and mutual understanding and it involves building social cohesion. This paper is about some aspects of how social cohesion is created through dialogue and addresses questions like: What is it that keeps a dialogue going? Why is it normally impossible to terminate a conversation by suddenly turning around and walking away, even if your interlocutor has finished his/her turn at speaking? To put it briefly, the aim is to analyze the glue of dialogue.

Topic-Segmentation Of Dialogue

We introduce a novel topic segmentation approach that combines evidence of topic shifts from lexical cohesion with linguistic evidence such as syntactically distinct features of segment initial and final contributions.
