Constructing cognitive and communicative models for dialog based on utterance-unit annotations

(1)通过语料分析和听力实验，发现了与话语结尾增量预测相关的句法和韵律因素。(2)通过对话语开头等位置的信息状态（新的与给定的）的注释，阐明了它们与话语韵律和说话人认知负荷的关系。(3)一些形式的建设的问题进行了调查，就其international约束可能从其他参与者的反应。(4)各种类型的响应令牌进行了检查，以了解它们是如何使用的顺序上下文，以及它们在交互中有什么影响。(5)为了实现这些结果，丰富的注释对话语料库的基础上产生和实施的关系数据库的新开发的模式。

(1) Syntactic and prosodic factors relevant to the incremental prediction of utterance ending have been identified through corpus analyses and listening experiments. (2) Based on annotations of the information status (new vs. given) of elements in utterance beginning, and other places, their correlates with utterance prosody and speaker's cognitive load have been elucidated. (3) Questions with some forms of construction were investigated with respect to their interactional constraints on possible responses from other participants. (4) Various types of response tokens were examined as to how they are used depending on sequential contexts and to what effects they have in interaction. (5) To achieve these results, rich annotations of dialog corpora were produced and implemented as relational databases based on a newly-developed schema.
