The paper is based on ...

We introduce a new dialogue model and a formalism for limited-domain dialogue systems, which works by interactively building dialogue trees. The model borrows its fundamental ideas from type theoretical grammars and Dynamic Syntax. The resulting dialogue theory is a simple and light-weight formalism, which is still capable of advanced dialogue behaviour.
