Question Answering in the Context of Telephone Surveys, Business Interactions, and Interviews.

Graesser, Arthur C.; And Others

Discourse Processes, v13 n3 p327-48 Jul-Sep 1990

Tests the QUEST model of question answering in naturalistic settings and in settings with complex pragmatic constraints: telephone surveys, business interactions, filmed interviews, and interviews on popular television programs. Finds that QUEST explains most of the answers in these contexts and virtually all of the answers that refer to the topics queried. (SR)
