Abstract:

This book introduces a methodology and research tool (DART) that make it
possible to carry out advanced corpus pragmatics research using dialogue
corpora enriched with pragmatics-relevant annotations. It first explores the
general use of spoken corpora for pragmatics research, as well as issues
revolving around their representation and annotation, and then goes on to
describe the resources required for such an annotation process. Based on data
from three different corpora, ranging from highly constrained, task-oriented,
ones (SPAADIA Trainline & Trains 93) to unconstrained dialogues (Switchboard),
it next presents an in-depth discussion and illustration of the potential
contributions of syntax, semantics, and semantico-pragmatics towards pragmatic
force. This is followed by a description of the largely automatic annotation
process itself, and finally an analysis of how a set of more than 110
potential speech acts defined in DART contributes towards establishing the
specific communicative characteristics of the three corpora.
