Request_Comment

• Illocution: The dialogue participant is being asked to express his opinion concerning the topic of a suggestion. Most SUGGESTions contain this dialogue act implicitly; REQUEST_COMMENT has been introduced to cover cases where the request is realised explicitly. The propositional content of the SUGGESTion is only being referred to implicitly (e.g. anaphoric and deictic references).
• Subcategorization
  1. request_comment_date: The dialogue participant is being asked to express his opinion with respect to a proposed date.
  2. request_comment_location: The dialogue participant is being asked to express his opinion with respect to a proposed meeting point.
  3. request_comment_duration: The dialogue participant is being asked to express his opinion with respect to a proposed duration of a meeting.
