SemDial satellite workshop
Submitted by eleni on Wed, 2010-03-03 05:23
SEMDIAL2010 will be the 14th workshop in the SEMDIAL series and it will be organized at the Institute of Psychology (Chair of Logic and Cognitive Science), Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU), Poznań.
Dates: 16-18 June, 2010.
Participants may also be interested in the "Intentions in Dialogue" workshop, sponsored by DYNDIAL, being held in Poznan on Tuesday 15th June (at the same location).
Modelling the achievement of effective coordination between interlocutors is often assumed to rely on some notion of strategic common ground or mutual knowledge computation. However, some recent psycholinguistic and language acquisition data seem to undermine this assumption, and computational models of dialogue often exclude high-order meta-representations of other parties' beliefs or intentions. This workshop will explore various points of views pertaining to this issue and its resolution.

Poesio and Rieser in Dialogue and Discourse journal
Submitted by eleni on Fri, 2010-02-26 17:29
The first article of the free access Dialogue and Discourse journal has appeared:
"Completions, coordination, and alignment in dialogue" by Massimo Poesio and Hannes Rieser
They propose a treatment of collaborative completions (a species of split utterances in dialogue) within the PTT framework, incorporating a theory of incremental utterance interpretation and an account of grounding. The analysis employs Lexical Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG), (Compositional) DRT and Situation Semantics to analyse the structure and semantics of these constructions. In addition, the generation and processing of collaborative completions is grounded on an intentional account, as well as a preliminary formulation within Pickering and Garrod’s alignment theory.
