Dialogisena
Dialogisena is a theoretical construct used in linguistics and artificial intelligence to analyze how meaning is shaped in dialogue. It focuses on how participants negotiate, adjust, and stabilize communicative goals through turn-taking, grounding, and semantic alignment. The framework treats dialogue as a dynamic process rather than a fixed set of utterances, emphasizing the role of context, intention, and feedback in achieving mutual understanding.
The term draws from dialogue and an -sena suffix intended to evoke synthesis and coherence produced through
Core concepts include grounding, alignment, and repair. Grounding describes how participants establish shared representations; alignment refers
In practice, dialogisena can guide analysis of transcripts or the design of conversational agents. Researchers may
Applications include evaluation metrics for dialogue systems, such as grounding accuracy and miscommunication repair efficiency, and
Dialogisena remains a theoretical construct without broad empirical consensus. Critics point to variability across languages and
