Predicting Success in Dialogue
Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: Task-solving in dialogue depends on the lin-guistic alignment of the interlocutors, which Pickering & Garrod (2004) have suggested to be based on mechanistic repetition ef-fects. In this paper, we seek confirmation of this hypothesis by looking at repetition in corpora, and whether repetition is cor-related with task success. We show that the relevant repetition tendency is based on slow adaptation rather than short-term prim-ing and demonstrate that lexical and syntac-tic repetition is a reliable predictor of task success given the first five minutes of a task-oriented dialogue. 1
