Dialogism Concepts in the Evaluation of the Participants of a Chat
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The article introduces a model for discourse analysis, customized for chat conversation, which is used for assessing collaboration derived from the intertwining perspectives of different conversation participants. Our model is derived from dialogism and is focused on the 3 central concepts of the analysis: utterance, voice and echo; these factors enable us to achieve a deep and holistic perception of the discourse. The path of the evaluation process starts from granting support to the ongoing discussion by using the collaborative environment made available to the participants, models the discussion based on the utterance graph and grants feedback regarding collaboration and involvement in each conversation thread. In essence, our analysis takes into consideration quantitative aspects measured in terms of active involvement in the discussion, qualitative ones at cognitive level by assessing the relevance of each utterance, but also social factors derived from voice intertwining.
