Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| In this paper, we present some key issues of our dialogue system for spoken language 1 which has been designed to enable quick configurability to various applications and to apply deep syntactic and semantic analysis, discourse processing, and language generation. It features a complex semantics-pragmatics interface in the sense of (Brietzmann and Görz, 1982): Discourse and application pragmatics are considered independent from each other; user utterances affect application pragmatics in that they are translated into speech acts which, in turn, indicate a user request to the application. The system’s behaviour is specified in a proprietary programming language interpreted by the dialogue manager. The semantics of this language is defined in terms of an extended version of DRT. 1 | |||||||||||||||
