Computational and Conversational Discourse : Burning Issues - An Interdisciplinary Account Hardback
Edited by Eduard H. Hovy, Donia R. Scott
Part of the Nato ASI Subseries F: series
Hardback
Description
People engage in discourse every day - from writing letters and presenting papers to simple discussions.
Yet discourse is a complex and fascinating phenomenon that is not well understood.
This volume stems from a multidisciplinary workshop in which eminent scholars in linguistics, sociology and computational linguistics presented various aspects of discourse.
The topics treated range from multi-party conversational interactions to deconstructing text from various perspectives, considering topic-focus development and discourse structure, and an empirical study of discourse segmentation.
The chapters not only describe each author's favorite burning issue in discourse but also provide a fascinating view of the research methodology and style of argumentation in each field.
