Warm-Up
Can you explain speech acts
from Gees perspective
(using his terms)?
i.e., what is a speech act?
* What does that tell you about how to model speech acts computationally?
Plan for Upcoming Unit
For next time we will pass out examples from AMI and coding manual
By Wed I will link in the readings for Unit 2
Next Monday I will hand out the annotated corpus and documentation
for SIDE plugins
Student Comment
I'm not sure we can analyze a text using
our current knowledge of speech acts. We
can only determine if there are any speech
acts and where specifically they occur.
Speech act theory as we've discussed it so
far doesn't include any analytical feature
beyond sentence deconstruction, unlike
Gee's and SFL methodologies.
Can you pass the salt?
