Designing an Open, Multidimensional Dialogue Act Taxonomy
Harry Bunt, Y.M. Girard · Research portal (Tilburg University) · 2006
This paper discusses issues in the design of a rich taxonomy of dialogue acts that is hierarchically structured in such a way that a notion of ‘dimension’ is reflected, corresponding to the intuition that communication is a complex activity, with multiple aspects that can be addressed simultaneously. The taxonomy is also ‘open’ in the sense that it is based on clear criteria for including dialogue act types and for how they fit into the taxonomy, allowing easy addition of other act types.
