CoFee-Toward a multidimensional analysis of conversational feedback, the case of French language
Résumé
Conversational feedback is mostly performed through short
utterances such as yeah, mhmm, okay not produced by the
main speaker but by one of the other participants of a con-
versation. Such utterances are among the most frequent
in conversational data. They also have been described in
psycho-linguistic models of communication as a crucial
communicative tool for achieving coordination or align-
ment in dialogue. The newly funded project described
in this paper addresses this issue from a linguistic view-
point by combining fine-grained corpus linguistic anal-
yses of semi-controlled data with formal and statistical
modeling. The impoverished aspect of the linguistic ma-
terial present in these utterances allows for a truly multi-
dimensional analysis that can explain how different lin-
guistic domains combine to convey meaning and achieve
communicative goals.
