Even though it is uncontroversial tha t both linguistic (e.g. lexical items, morpho-synt actic constructions, prosody) and extra-linguistic factors (e.g. world knowledge, speaker/hearer kno wledge) are used to anticipate how discourse is li kely to continue, the nature of their interplay is a topic of ongoing research. DETEC approaches thi s topic in an interdisciplinary fashion by compari ng theoretical, experimental, and computational pe rspectives. We welcome submissions of theoretical , experimental and computational studies on topics related to any aspect of discourse expectations, how they arise, how they may be quantified, and ho w they may be modelled.

Studies o n discourse processing indicate that natural langu age interpretation is expectation-driven. Even tho ugh it is uncontroversial that both linguistic (e. g. lexical items, morpho-syntactic constructions, prosody) and extra-linguistic factors (e.g. world knowledge, speaker/hearer knowledge) are used to a nticipate how discourse is likely to continue, the nature of their interplay is a topic of ongoing r esearch. DETEC approaches this topic in an interdi sciplinary fashion by comparing theoretical, exper imental, and computational perspectives.
