Introduction

Abstract

This volume represents a multidisciplinary effort in the study of dialog considering multiple research fields, including linguistics, logic and computation. The incorporation of one more monograph into the series that directly tackles language use demonstrates an increasing interest on the disciplinary approach to language. All in all, language and mind, rational thinking and spontaneous conversations are all part of the same highly sophisticated system that characterizes human beings. This monograph is an invitation to consider new methods from various disciplines that can help develop progress in understanding logic, argumentation and reasoning.
