Modelling topics and topic shifts in dialogue
Abstract
In this paper we discuss a model of topics and topic shifts, including more unconventional topic shifts as we can see in dialogues with patients with schizophrenia. We will use TTR, a type theory with records (Cooper, 2014; Cooper, 2022) with dialogue gameboards (DGBs) (Ginzburg, 2012). This theory enables us to represent both the linguistic and extra-linguistic context (situation context), which influence dialogue participants with regard to topic shifts and the evolution of the current topic but also to the understanding of topic shifts.
