Negotiating with a logical-linguistic protocol in a dialogical framework
This book is the result of years of reflection. Some time ago, while working in
commodities, the author felt how difficult it was to decide the order in which to
use arguments during a negotiation process. What would happen if we translated the arguments into cards and played them according to the rules of the
Bridge game? The results were impressive. There was potential for improvement in the negotiation process. The investigation went deeper, exploring players, cards, deals and the information concealed in the players´ announcements,
in the cards and in the deals. This new angle brought the research to NeuroLinguistic Patterns and cryptic languages, such as Russian Cards.
In the following pages, the author shares her discovery of a new application for
Logical Dialogues: Negotiations, tackled from basic linguistic structures placed
under a dialogue form as a cognitive system which ‘understands’ natural language, with the aim to solve conflicts and even to serve peace
An Account of Opinion Implicatures
While previous sentiment analysis research has concentrated on the
interpretation of explicitly stated opinions and attitudes, this work initiates
the computational study of a type of opinion implicature (i.e.,
opinion-oriented inference) in text. This paper described a rule-based
framework for representing and analyzing opinion implicatures which we hope
will contribute to deeper automatic interpretation of subjective language. In
the course of understanding implicatures, the system recognizes implicit
sentiments (and beliefs) toward various events and entities in the sentence,
often attributed to different sources (holders) and of mixed polarities; thus,
it produces a richer interpretation than is typical in opinion analysis.Comment: 50 Pages. Submitted to the journal, Language Resources and Evaluatio
