Abstract:
Abstract—The paper introduces a work in progress on modelling one aspect of natural human communication – communicative space. Participants of a communication event place themselves at certain points of communicative space which characterizes such relevant features of their relations in the event as communicative distance, dominance, politeness, personal relatedness, etc. Examples of human-human dialogues demonstrate how participants pass different points in communicative space during an event. Our aim is to include such a model of communicative space in our experimental system for modelling conversational agents in order to make interaction with the system more human-like.
