Toward a Computational Theory of Indirect Speech Acts

The variety of surface forms that may be used to convey a given speech act pose a major problem in modeling task-oriented (and other) dialogues. Many such forms are so-called indirect speech acts, that is, surface form does not correspond to the (or one) intended speech act.
