Welcome to the course: Methods for studying dialogue, 7.5 credits
LI2423
The course is being co-taught with LI1423: https://canvas.gu.se/courses/85476/assignments/syllabus
The purpose of the course is to find out about the basic interactive dimension of language use and structure and the specific conditions that apply when studying dialogue compared to those that apply in traditional linguistics.
Participants in the course become familiar with a number of different ways of approaching scientific problems within dialogue research, and with the possibilities and limitations of each method. It will cover both human-human and human-machine interaction, as well as, language acquisition, animal communication, and the issues that arise with current language technology developments.
