Deliberation

• Illocution: By means of a DELIBERATION one dialogue partner signals to the respective other dialogue participant that he still participates in the interaction but that he executes a sideline action in order to be able to continue the conversation.
• Subcategorisation:
  1. deliberate_explicit: By means of an explicit deliberation the dialogue partner briefly leaves the appointment negotiation in order to verify a date. A DELIBERATE_EXPLICIT can be introduced by an apology.
  2. deliberate_implicit: This dialogue act is used to model imitations/repetitions of previous utterances or to describe monologues (loud thinking) by one dialogue partner. This distinction is not treated in the current VM setting.
• Linguistic Realisation:
  Da muß ich mich mal ganz scharf konzentrieren, weil ich jetzt meinen Stundenplan noch nicht so genau im Kopf habe.
  Moment, da müßt' ich grad 'n mal kucken.
