Completions, Coordination, and Alignment in Dialogue

Paper · 2010 · Massimo Poesio and Hannes Rieses

Summary

The paper asks how a formal theory of dialogue can explain collaborative completions, where a listener finishes an utterance the speaker has begun. These completions show that interlocutors coordinate below the sentence level. The authors use PTT, their dialogue interpretation framework. It combines Compositional DRT, Situation Semantics and LTAG, and adds incremental interpretation and an explicit model of grounding based on Traum's grounding acts. Their data are German task-oriented dialogues from the Bielefeld Toy Plane Corpus, in which an Instructor guides a Constructor in assembling a Baufix airplane. The main claim is that completions need mostly independently motivated machinery: partial utterances already have interpretable syntactic and semantic structure that a second speaker can extend, and grounding acts record who accepted what. For the "macro" level, the authors give an intention-based explanation using shared plans in the style of Tuomela, then sketch an alternative based on Pickering and Garrod's alignment model. The paper matters because it ties fragment interpretation, turn-taking and grounding into one explicit account. It also contrasts this account with KoS, SDRT, Dynamic Syntax and Purver et al.

Key points

  • The Bielefeld Toy Plane Corpus (BTPC) contains 22 filmed and transcribed Instructor–Constructor dialogues, totalling 3675 contributions with non-verbal events excluded. Recording conditions varied visibility (full screen, half-screen, face to face) and the instruction source (a building plan or a finished model).
  • PTT merges Compositional DRT, Situation Semantics and LTAG. Grounding is modelled with Traum's grounding acts, which also avoid the infinite regress of acceptances in Clark and Schaefer's formulation.
  • Discourse markers get lexical updates: "so" is treated as a turn-taking act and "ja" as an acknowledgment of a discourse unit (DU). The turn-taking acts are take-turn, keep-turn, release-turn and assign-turn. "okay" may yield keep-turn, accept or acknowledge.
  • For the apposition "eine Schraube, eine orangene mit einem Schlitz", LTAG needs a second, appositive reading of "eine". Alternatively, a type-shifting operator NTNM turns an NP into a noun modifier.
  • The authors give two macro-level accounts, one intention-based (shared plans) and one alignment-based (Pickering & Garrod). They also discuss KoS, SDRT, Dynamic Syntax and Purver et al. (2006).

Interesting ideas

  • I1. Conversational events become discourse referents in the common ground, so a backward-looking reply like "okay" or "ja" can point to the earlier act it accepts.
  • I2. The lexicon works as a default theory: markers such as "so", "well" or "umm" trigger default dialogue-act updates that context can override, and several competing updates may coexist.
  • I3. An unfinished utterance already has a partial tree with open slots (LTAG-style substitution nodes), so a second speaker's fragment can attach to it and complete it.
  • I4. An appositive NP, such as one that names a screw and then specifies it as the orange, slotted kind, can be treated with a single type-shifting operator instead of duplicate determiner entries, which keeps the lexicon small.
  • I5. Grounding is a separate collateral layer: material can be presented without yet being accepted into shared knowledge.

For Mova

How these ideas could serve Mova, our small open language model — its files, stages and tests:

  • I1 (frames): Register each speech act as an addressable node, so acknowledgments, acceptances and rejections link explicitly to the act they target.
  • I2 (frames): Give discourse markers default speech-act readings in prag that later evidence can override, and keep each override as a visible, explainable step.
  • I3 (tree): Parse dialogue fragments by attaching them to the open positions of the previous turn's UD tree instead of treating them as standalone broken sentences.
  • I4 (world): Merge appositive descriptions into a single entity with an identity condition, so its attributes (orange, has a slit) attach to one referent.
  • I5 (world): Mark facts in the text's world as presented versus grounded, so answers about what characters agreed on or know can distinguish the two.
