Dialogue Homme Machine

Résumé Cet article présente le cadre théorique - actes de langage et SDRT (Segmented Discourse Representation Theory) - qui permet de plonger le processus de dialogue dans un formalisme efficace pour résoudre le problème de l’interprétation pragmatique dans un système de dialogue homme-machine. Après avoir montré l’intérêt de conserver la notion d’acte de langage dans la théorie standard de la SDRT, l’article propose une formalisation des relations rhétoriques à partir des actes de langage dans une perspective pragmatique. Des exemples sont donnés pour en illustrer les aspects formels.

Discourse Connectives

This article analyses Locating Adverbials (LAs) such as un peu plus tard, ce matin, deux kilomètres plus loin (‘a little later’, ‘this morning’, ‘two kilometers further’) when they are dislocated to the left of the sentence (IP Adjuncts cases). Although not discourse connectives, in such a position, they seem to play an important part in structuring discourse. It is this contribution of LAs to discourse that we tackle, providing a descriptive analysis and a formal account grounded on Segmented Discourse Representation Theory. In particular, we deal with the frame introducer role of the LAs and with spatio-temporal interpretations of these markers occurring in trajectory descriptions.

Hans Kamp

Meaning and the Dynamics of Interpretation brings together fourteen papers by Hans Kamp, whose research is concerned with formal linguistics, philosophy of language, logic, cognitive science and computer science. Central to this research are problems of presupposition, context dependency, vagueness of meaning, the dynamic character of interpretation, the issues contributing to the version of dynamic semantics known as Discourse Representation Theory, and associated with the dynamic turn in the study of meaning and interpretation.
