"Well that's one way": Interactivity in parsing and production (commentary on Pickering and Garrod's "An integrated theory of language production and comprehension"

Abstract:

We present empirical evidence from dialogue that challenges some of the key assumptions in the Pickering & Garrod (P&G) model of speaker-hearer coordination in dialogue. The P&G model also invokes an unnecessarily complex set of mechanisms. We show that a computational implementation, currently in development and based on a simpler model, can account for more of this type of dialogue data.
