Abstract: In order to refer to an object, a speaker attempts to build a description of the object that will allow the hearer to identify it. Since the description might not enable the hearer to identify the referent, the speaker and hearer might engage in a clarification subdialogue in which they collaborate in order to make the referring action successful. This thesis presents a computational model of how a conversational participant collaborates in order to make a referring action successful. The model ... (Update)

...[Bol58] states that the use of a rising pitch to mark new information is universal across languages. 2 Following [Bre90] and Heeman [Hee91] the speaker is denoted by female pronouns, the hearer by male. This imperfect usage replaces the more imperfect usage offered by...
.... we can also model the collaborative nature of the referring process itself, in a manner similar to [ Clark and Wilkes Gibbs, 1986; Heeman, 1991 ] 13 6 Other Issues Space precludes a detailed explanation of how other contextual features are represented and used by other...
