More About This Textbook

Overview

The papers in this volume represent leading-edge work by well-known scholars on the topics mentioned in the title: discourse, interaction, and communication. They report work done from widely divergent points on the theoretical spectrum of cognitive science, and from different disciplinary starting points (philosophy, logic, linguistics, artificial intelligence). Not only do these works faithfully represent the main topics and the wide range of differing positions presented at the Fourth International Colloquium on Cognitive Science (ICCS-95), but despite their differences (or perhaps because of these differences) they also display many clear directions for future research in these three central areas of cognitive science. This book is essential reading for all researchers in cognitive science.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Presents a small but representative sample of the main papers considered at the May 1995 colloquium, which focused on four themes: social action and cooperation, cognitive approaches in discourse processing, models of information in communication systems, and the scope and limits of cognitive simulation. Papers range from the extremely abstract to the extremely specific. Among the topics: contextual domains; formal semantics, geometry, and mind; collective goals and cooperation; a logical approach to reasoning about uncertainty; and building a collaborative interface agent.
