  5. 18. Enthymemes in Dialogue: A micro-rhetorical approach

    Author : Ellen Breitholtz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Topos; Enthymeme; ; TTR; Dialogue modelling; Non-monotonic reasoning; Accommodation; Micro-rhetoric; Gameboard semantics;

    Abstract : In dialogue we frequently present arguments which are based on commonly accepted non-logical inferences. In rhetorical theory, this type of argument is called an enthymeme, and a pattern of reasoning that it is based on is called a topos. The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate the role that enthymemes play in natural language dialogue. READ MORE

    Author : Paul Cibulka; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; human interaction; gesture; sign; sign language; conversation; speakership; self-touching;

    Abstract : When humans interact, they may make use of a range of resources, such as head movements, facial expressions, manual movement, body posture and speech. It is assumed that participants both produce and perceive this stream of information in a differentiated way: Some segments are attended to as belonging to the content of the discourse while others are rather backgrounded and may serve to regulate the interaction in terms of speakership and turn-taking.
