Abstract

The author resumes new trends in speech technology and conversation analysis in the perspective of discovering points of common interest which could bring into contact the two quite distant and divergent worlds of research. The starting point is the demand for very large corpora of natural spoken dialogue in speech technology which could motivate new efforts of collecting corpora and storing them in a database format on the side of linguistic conversationalists. By participating in the development of corpus technology and the modelling of dialogical speech for the purposes of statistically based automatic procedures, linguists will get access to actually developing possibilities of retrieval and analysis which implies a new chance to answer already old questions about the nature of ongoing dialogical speech.
