Fourth Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue
Gothenburg University, Sweden
June 15-17 2000
http://www.ling.gu.se/gotalog/
SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Gotalog 2000 will be the fourth in a series of workshops that aim at
bringing together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics
of dialogues in fields such as artificial intelligence, formal
semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, and
psychology. This year's workshop is organized in collaboration with
the EU-sponsored project TRINDI
(http://www.ling.gu.se/research/projects/trindi/), and will take place
at Gothenburg University. It will include talks on a number of topics
in the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues, including:
- the semantics and pragmatics of anaphora
- decision theory in pragmatics
- information state update
- dialogue games
- the semantics and pragmatics of questions
- spoken dialogue systems
- turn-taking and grounding in dialogue
as well as presentations by our four invited speakers:
Jens Allwood (Gothenburg)
Herbert Clark (Stanford)
Paul Dekker (Amsterdam)
Ronnie Smith (East Carolina)
(See program below.)
Information about participation and registration, an online registration form,
and the program are available at
http://www.ling.gu.se/gotalog/
The workshop is endorsed by SIGDIAL, the Association for Computational
Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest Group (SIG) on Discourse and Dialogue.
