What Changed Your Mind: The Roles of Dynamic Topics and Discourse in Argumentation Process
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Specifically, we propose a novel neural model that is able to dynamically track the changes of latent topics and discourse in argumentative conversations, allowing the investigation of their roles in influencing ...
We further analyze the effects of topics and discourse on persuasiveness, and find that they are both useful - topics provide concrete evidence while superior discourse styles may bias participants, especially ...
In this line, previous studies have shown the benefits of discovering the latent discourse structure. ...

Entropy Converges Between Dialogue Participants: Explanations from an Information-Theoretic Perspective
2016
Proceedings of the 54th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers)
Speaker's dynamic roles as topic initiators and topic responders are associated with decreasing and increasing entropy, respectively, which results in local convergence between these speakers in each topic ...
The principle is found to hold; however, new entropy change patterns within the topic episodes of dialogue are described, which are different from written text. ...

2017
RLA. Revista de Lingüística Teórica y Aplicada
The study substantiates the close connection between relational identities or roles and registers in digital discourse, and facilitates linguistic devices for a better use and understanding of register ...
The way they function in digital discourse is illustrated in the second part by analysing an open discussion forum sample corpus. ...
In contentbased filtering, we solve the problem of data scarcity in online content by smoothing, using latent topic information. ...

Mother-Child Conversations and Child Memory Narratives: The Roles of Child Gender and Attachment
2016
Psychology of Language and Communication
We argue that mothers of secure boys sensitively recognize their sons' cues within the conversational context and respond to the need for further verbal assistance, thus providing more on-topic replies ...
This study examined the roles of child gender and attachment in mother-child narrative conversations and child independent narratives. ...
Structure that adults provide may also be in the form of questions, praise, repetition of the child's content, and on-topic replies that adhere to Grice's (1975) conversational maxims. ...
