Dialogue

This Tuesday's lecture will be a guest lecture by Scott AnderBois about dialogue.  The reading is here:

• Ginzburg, J. The Dynamics and Semantics of Dialogue. Logic, language and computation 1 (1996).

He won't be talking about the specific formalism, so you can mostly ignore the situation and infon-specific details.  He'll focus on the general mindset the paper embodies and about linguistic phenomena claimed to be sensitive to QUDs (Question Under Discussion).  There is no specific assignment for this week.  Instead I encourage you to begin working on your final project proposal.

UPDATE:  Scott's slides are here: http://cs.brown.edu/courses/csci2951-k/papers/QUD_Lecture_Robotics.pdf.
