When to Elicit Feedback in Dialogue: Towards a Model Based on the Information Needs of Speakers

چکیده
Communicative feedback in dialogue is an important mechanism that helps interlocutors coordinate their interaction. Listeners pro-actively provide feedback when they think that it is important for the speaker to know their mental state, and speakers pro-actively seek listener feedback when they need information on whether a listener perceived, understood or accepted their message.
