Abstract

In this paper, we show that investigating the interaction of conversational type (often known as language game or speech genre) with the character types of the interlocutors is worthwhile. We present a method of calculating the decision making process for selecting dialogue moves that combines character type and conversational type. We also present a mathematical model that illustrate these factors' interactions in a quantitative way.
