Book Synopsis Communication Failure in Dialogue and Discourse by : Ronan G. Reilly
Download or read book Communication Failure in Dialogue and Discourse written by Ronan G. Reilly and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1987 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of communication failure in person/machine and interpersonal dialogue focuses on the processes involved in the detection and repair of failures. Contributions are from cognitive scientists, linguists, and experts from the areas of artificial intelligence and ergonomics/human factors. An attempt is made to provide an integrating framework within which to view the disparate strands of the topic. An important integrating theme is the development of natural language interfaces that are robust and that can deal with miscommunication in a human-like way. The core of the papers originate from a symposium in Dublin partially funded by ESPRIT, some from part of the ESPRIT programme, and others were solicited from established researchers in Europe and the United States.

Book Synopsis The Structure of Multimodal Dialogue II by : M. M. Taylor
Download or read book The Structure of Multimodal Dialogue II written by M. M. Taylor and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most dialogues are multimodal. When people talk, they use not only their voices, but also facial expressions and other gestures, and perhaps even touch. When computers communicate with people, they use pictures and perhaps sounds, together with textual language, and when people communicate with computers, they are likely to use mouse gestures almost as much as words. How are such multimodal dialogues constructed? This is the main question addressed in this selection of papers of the second Venaco Workshop, sponsored by the NATO Research Study Group RSG-10 on Automatic Speech Processing, and by the European Speech Communication Association (ESCA).
Book Synopsis Approaching Dialogue by : Per Linell
Download or read book Approaching Dialogue written by Per Linell and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Approaching Dialogue" has its primary focus on the theoretical understanding and empirical analysis of talk-in-interaction. It deals with conversation in general as well as talk within institutions against a backdrop of Conversation Analysis, context-based discourse analysis, social pragmatics, socio-cultural theory and interdisciplinary dialogue analysis.People s communicative projects, and the structures and functions of talk-in-interaction, are analyzed from the most local sequences to the comprehensive communicative activity types and genres. A second aim of the book is to explore the possibilities and limitations of dialogism as a general epistemology for cognition and communication. On this point, it portrays the dialogical approach as a major alternative to the mainstream theories of cognition as individually-based information processing, communication as information transfer, and language as a code. Stressing aspects of interaction, joint construction and cultural embeddedness, and drawing upon extensive theoretical and empirical research carried out in different traditions, this book aims at an integrating synthesis. It is largely interdisciplinary in nature, and has been written in such a way that it can be used at advanced undergraduate courses in linguistics, sociopragmatics of language, communication studies, sociology, social psychology and cognitive science.About the author: Per Linell holds a Ph.D. in linguistics and has been professor within the interdisciplinary graduate program of Communication Studies at the University of Linkoping, Sweden, since 1981. He has published widely in the fields of discourse studies and social pragmatics of language.

Book Synopsis Talking at Cross-purposes by : Angeliki Tzanne
Download or read book Talking at Cross-purposes written by Angeliki Tzanne and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misunderstandings have been examined extensively in studies on cross-cultural (mis)communication which associate them with participants' differing cultural backgrounds and/or linguistic knowledge. Drawing on a large corpus of misunderstandings from cross- and intra-cultural encounters, this book argues that miscommunication does not relate exclusively to participants' background differences or similarities, but that its creation and development are tightly interwoven with the dynamic manner in which social encounters unfold. Against a backdrop of Pragmatics, Conversation Analysis and Goffman's theory of frames and roles, the volume discusses a large number of misunderstandings and shows that they are associated with the constant identity and activity shifts as well as with the turn-by-turn construction of interpretative context in interaction. Besides students and researchers of pragmatics, conversation analysis and sociolinguistics, this book will also appeal to all those interested in the process of making, misinterpreting and clarifying meaning in social interaction.
Book Synopsis Language Processing by : Simon Garrod
Download or read book Language Processing written by Simon Garrod and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Processing questions what happens when we process language - what mental operations occur during processing and how they are organised over time. The last decade has seen real advances in the study of language processing that have wide ranging implications for human cognition in general. Language Processing gives an account of these developments both as they relate to experimental studies of processing and as they relate to computational modelling of the processes. In addition to chapters covering core topics, such as lexical processing, syntactic parsing and the comprehension of discourse, special topics of recent interest are also included.
Book Synopsis Coherence in Spontaneous Text by : Morton Ann Gernsbacher
Download or read book Coherence in Spontaneous Text written by Morton Ann Gernsbacher and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1995-03-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main theme running through this volume is that coherence is a mental phenomenon rather than a property of the spoken or written text, or of the social situation. Coherence emerges during speech production-and-comprehension, allowing the speech receiver to form roughly the same episodic representation as the speech producer had in mind. In producing and comprehending a text, be it spoken or written, the interlocutors collaborate towards coherence. They negotiate for a common ground of shared topicality, reference and thematic structure – thus toward a similar mental representation of the text. In conversation, the negotiation takes place between the present participants. In writing or oral narrative, the negotiation takes place in the mind of the text producer, between the text producer and his/her mental representation of the mind of the absent or inactive interlocutor. The cognitive mechanisms that underlie face-to-face communication thus continue to shape text production and comprehension in non-interactive contexts.Most of the papers in this volume were originally presented at the Symposium on Coherence in Spontaneous Text, held at the University of Oregon in the spring of 1992.

Part I discusses general methodological issues - mostly within the framework of discourse and conversation analysis - whereas Part II presents specific case studies. The volume includes contributions that address both traditional areas of dialogue analysis such as politeness, and more recent areas of interest such as argumentation or the analysis of dialogic interaction in specific contexts.
Book Synopsis AI and Cognitive Science ’89 by : Alan Smeaton
Download or read book AI and Cognitive Science ’89 written by Alan Smeaton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the texts of papers presented at the Second Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, held at Dublin City University in September 1989. This Conference has now become the major annual forum in Ireland for the presentation and discussion of current research work in the multi-disciplinary area of Artificial Intelligence. Papers in this volume have been divided into seven sections which vary in their subject matter. Image processing, human-computer interaction, planning, applications and theory of expert systems, learn ing, speech, and natural language processing and semantics repre sents as broad a spectrum of AI and AI-related topics as can be found in current AI research. This harmonises quite well with the aims and scope of the AICS'89 conference which were to provide a forum for industry and academic research to discuss AI and AI-related topics and we were delighted that such a broad coverage of topics was achieved. Despite the broad nature, however, none of the papers are primarily review articles; each paper presents new research results within its own specific area.
Book Synopsis Spoken Dialogue Technology by : Michael F. McTear
Download or read book Spoken Dialogue Technology written by Michael F. McTear and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spoken Dialogue Technology provides extensive coverage of spoken dialogue systems, ranging from the theoretical underpinnings of the study of dialogue through to a detailed look at a number of well-established methods and tools for developing spoken dialogue systems. The book enables students and practitioners to design and test dialogue systems using several available development environments and languages, including the CSLU toolkit, VoiceXML, SALT, and XHTML+ voice. This practical orientation is usually available otherwise only in reference manuals supplied with software development kits. The latest research in spoken dialogue systems is presented along with extensive coverage of the most relevant theoretical issues and a critical evaluation of current research prototypes. A dedicated web site containing supplementary materials, code, links to resources will enable readers to develop and test their own systems (). Previously such materials have been difficult to track down, available only on a range of disparate web sites and this web site provides a unique and useful reference source which will prove invaluable.

Book Synopsis 'Miscommunication' and Problematic Talk by : Nikolas Coupland
Download or read book 'Miscommunication' and Problematic Talk written by Nikolas Coupland and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1991 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language use and communication are pervasively and even intrinsically flawed, partial and problematic - this is the contention of this volume, which explores failures in interpersonal communication. Rather than approaching communication in terms of competence, effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction, the contributors reassess key social contexts in terms of miscommunication rather than communication, failure rather than success. They provide an integrative overview of research in defined social contexts, highlighting particular social groups, social situations and communicative modes. The elderly, children, non-native speakers, medical personnel and the disabled are among those discussed.
Book Synopsis An Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction by : Paul Booth
Download or read book An Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction written by Paul Booth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989 this title provided a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the burgeoning discipline of human-computer interaction for students, academics, and those from industry who wished to know more about the subject. Assuming very little knowledge, the book provides an overview of the diverse research areas that were at the time only gradually building into a coherent and well-structured field. It aims to explain the underlying causes of the cognitive, social and organizational problems typically encountered when computer systems are introduced. It is clear and concise, whilst avoiding the oversimplification of important issues and ideas.
Book Synopsis Communicating with One Another by : Sabine Kowal
Download or read book Communicating with One Another written by Sabine Kowal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to traditional approaches of mainstream psycholinguists, the authors of Communicating with One Another approach spontaneous spoken discourse as a dynamic process, rich with structures, patterns, and rules other than conventional grammar and syntax. Daniel C. O’Connell and Sabine Kowal thoroughly critique mainstream psycholinguistics, proposing instead a shift in theoretical focus from experimentation to field observation, from monologue to dialogue, and from the written to the spoken. They invoke four theoretical principles: intersubjectivity, perspectivity, open-endedness, and verbal integrity. Their analyses of historical and original research raise significant questions about the relationship between spoken and written discourse, particularly with regard to transcription and punctuation. With emphasis on political discourse, media interviews, and dramatic performance, the authors review both familiar and unexplored characteristics of spontaneous spoken communication, including: (1) The speaker’s use of prosody. (2) The functions of interjections. (3) What fillers do for a living. (4) Turn-taking: Smooth and otherwise. (5) Laughter, applause, and booing: from individual listener to collective audience. (6) Pauses, silence, and the art of listening. The paradigm shift proposed in Communicating with One Another will interest and provoke readers concerned about communicative language use – including psycholinguists, sociolinguists, and anthropological linguists.
