Mandelbrot, B. On the theory of word frequencies and on related Markovian models of discourse, in: R. Jakobson, Structure of Language and its Mathematical Aspects.
In contrast to previous methods of invited public deliberation, which privilege egalitarian-consensual models of discourse and decision-making, we test a novel approach that places majoritarian, individualistic, and consensual forms of public deliberation on an equal footing.
She developed some of the earliest computer dialogue systems, and established the research field of computational modeling of discourse.
Avika and Jonah contextualized the groups in the flow dynamics model of discourse, with Rock the Vote representing structural change and Mia Famila Vota representing expressive change.
Optimality-Theory pragmatics (OT pragmatics, Blutner 2000; Blutner and Zeevat 2004) is another attempt at a computational modelling of discourse but unlike SDRT it makes use of a post-Gricean, intention-based account of discourse interpretation.
However, unlike a simple update semantics where discourse contexts are modeled as sets of worlds embodying the information established in the discourse so far these theories provide a more refined model of discourse contexts, one that also embodies the issues that have been raised so far.
A different direction of investigation is explored in Chen (1986), Tai (1978), Pu (1995, 2011), and, to some extent, in Li and Thompson (1979), following a general structural model of discourse and the use of anaphora developed in Hinds (1977, 1979) and Fox (1987 , 1996.
Media and culture are undergoing a series of transformations as new technologies, new forms of entertainment, new venues for political debate, and new models of public discourse emerge online.
He is author/editor of the book, The Biology of Business: Decoding the Natural Laws of Enterprise (Jossey-Bass, 1999) and the author of Meaning and Discourse: A Computational Model of Psychoanalytic Discourse (Johns Hopkins, 1977).
The campaign was not exactly a model of reasoned discourse.
