Wassiliki Siskou

I'm a PhD student in the research project 'Computational Linguistic Analysis of Public Service Encounters' in the Exzellenzcluster 'Politics of Inequality' at the University of Konstanz and researcher at the University of Passau. 

My research interest lie in argument mining, discourse analysis and pragmatics, with a focus on the computational lingusitic model of hierarchy in dialogue and debate and the rhetorical strategies with which differences in hierarchy are signaled. An interesting phenomenon is question dodging, i.e. "answers" which evade the topic of the question and often remain undetected by the interlocutors.
