In this paper, we discuss the question of closure conditions for dialogues in three different frameworks: W. C. Mann’s DMT framework, Vanderveken’s illocutionary theory of discourse and Asher and Lascarides SDRT approach. We are interested in formal frameworks that aim to describe the logical structure of conversations between diversely bounded agents who are to some extent rational, intelligen...

Argument mining has started to yield early results in automatic analysis of text to produce representations of reason-conclusion structures. This paper addresses for the first time the question of automatically extracting such structures from dialogical settings of argument. More specifically, we introduce theoretical foundations for dialogical argument mining as well as show the initial implem...

Document drafting|an important problem-solving task of professionals in a wide variety of elds|typiies a design task requiring complex adaptation for case reuse. This paper proposes a framework for document reuse based on an explicit representation of the illocutionary and rhetorical structure underlying documents. Explicit representation of this structure facilitates (1) interpretation of prev...

Language is a tool for communication. This means that apart from being communication tool, it also channel formulating intentions, ideas, opinions, giving birth to feelings and making collaboration. Communication as an opening extend far beyond the domain of words. Illocutionary acts are actions difficult identify. Not only imparting knowledge someone, but doing something. Permissions, requests...

A crucially important adequacy test of any theory of speech acts is its ability to handle performatives. This paper provides a theory of performatives as a test case for our rationally based theory of illocutionary acts. We show why \I request you. . ." is a request, and \I lie to you that p" is self-defeating. The analysis supports and extends earlier work of theorists such as Bach and Harnish...

Austin was the first to see the need to classify speech acts.Searle put forward a classification of primitive illocutionary acts.However, Searle's classification remains dependent upon amonological, representational, and merely semantic conception oflanguage. This article (i) points out the main weaknesses of Searle'staxonomy, (ii) draws the main lines of a dialogical approa...

This paper describes recent research on a natural-language-generation system that is based on planning. A system named KAMP is described that is capable of producing English sentences as part of a plan to enlist the cooperation of another agent in achieving a goal involving a change in the physical state of the world. The planner uses knowledge about the different subgoals to be achieved and li...

This research aimed to describe and classify types of illocutionary acts found in Lara Jean's utterances To All the Boys movie trilogy including I’ve Loved Before (2018), P.S I Still Love You (2020), Always Forever (2021).
