Troubles and Failures in Interactional Language. Towards a
  Linguistically Informed Taxonomy
Martina Wiltschko
The goal of this talk is to introduce a systematic research agenda which aims
to understand the nature of interaction between humans and artificial
conversational agents (CA) (henceforth humanmachine interaction, HMI).
Specifically, we shall take an explicit linguistic perspective focusing on
linguistically defined variables that are known to influence the flow of
conversations among humans (henceforth human-human interaction, HHI).
