Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical approach to the characterization of requests boundaries and structure in general spoken dialogue. Emphasis is laid on the fracture between the illocutionary act of requesting (for which the term 'request' is kept) and the locutionary elements that carry it out (its 'instantiation'). This approach leads to a representation of requests based on the inclusion of a semantic level under a pragmatic level via a structural level. These distinctions are meant to benefit to the semantic-pragmatic segmentation of dialogue and the study of request strategies.
