Abstract:

In this paper, a framework is developed for the study of information update in naturally occurring information dialogues, that takes into account the information structure of the individual utterances. It is based on the dialogue theory of Bunt(1994,1995), the topic management work of Rats (1996), and the information packaging theory of Vallduv'i (1990). The framework is tested on a corpus of 111 telephone conversations recorded at the information service of Schiphol. The results are promising which gives us the hope that it may serve as the point of departure for a study of information packaging in other naturally occurring conversations as well.
