Abstract

In this paper, we present a formal approach to the compositional processing of questions and answers presented in the corpus SLAM-Schizophrenia and Language: Analysis and Modeling (Amblard et al. in Traitement Automatique des Langues, 55(3), 91115, 2015). In particular, we want to address issues surrounding dialogue lexicality by beginning with definitions as formalized in the framework of Düsseldorf Frame Semantics presented in Kallmeyer and Osswald (Journal of Language Modelling, 1(2), 267330, 2014). We then introduce a view of dialogue that emerges from compositions of negotiation phases that may be studied as separate elements while remaining linked by a common dialogue context (shared among all dialogue participants). Finally, we produce an analysis of English and French interrogative words toward an operationalization of our model for real-life data.
