Healey and Arash Eshghi and Christine Howes and Matthew Purver", abstract = "Clarification Requests (CR) provide a useful window on how contributions to dialogue are processed. We present chat-tool experiments that introduce CRs mid-turn into ongoing dialogue. The pattern of responses shows people are sensitive to both constituent structure at the interruption point and apparent origin of the CR: the conversational partner or a ‘peripheral’ chat-bot participant. The results highlight the need for context-sensitive, sub-sentential but structured and incremental processing models.", address = "Poitiers, France", booktitle = "Proceedings of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse", month = "jul", title = "{M}aking a contribution: {P}rocessing clarification requests in dialogue", url = "http://www.christinehowes.com/papers/healey-et-al11std.pdf", year = "2011", }
