Meeting Description:

PotsDial will be the 25th edition of the SemDial workshop series, which aims
to bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of
dialogue in fields such as formal semantics and pragmatics, computational
linguistics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, psychology, and
neuroscience. In 2021 the workshop will be hosted by the Department of
Linguistics at the University of Potsdam, Germany. (If the pandemic situation
allows for it, there will be a local component for those who want to travel to
Potsdam, but fully remote participation, including presentation, will be
possible. Please see the website for updates closer to the date.)

We invite papers on all topics related to the semantics and pragmatics of
dialogue, including, but not limited to:
- the dynamics of agents' information states in dialogue
- common ground/mutual belief
- goals, intentions and commitments in communication
- turn-taking and interaction control
- semantic/pragmatic interpretation in dialogue
- dialogue and discourse structure
- categorisation of dialogue phenomena in corpora
- child-adult interaction
- the psycholinguistics of dialogue
- language learning through dialogue
- gesture, gaze, and intonational meaning in communication
- multimodal and multi-party dialogue
- conversation analysis applied to human/agent interaction
- interpretation and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems
- dialogue management
- designing and evaluating dialogue systems
