Abstract: Dialogue systems should provide a cooperative informational dialogue aimed at knowledge sharing. In the paper speech acts of assertion (SAA) are assumed to be the means of achieving this goal. A typology of SAAs is proposed which reflects certain cognitive aspects of communicative situation at different stages of mutual informing process. Information constituents of the type assertions are formally described to represent a current cognitive state of the speaker's knowledge base, each proposition in it being characterized by a subjective verisimilitude evaluation. The general scheme of information flow in the cooperative dialogue is considered. With regard to this scheme the dialogue functions of SAAs are discussed.
