A planning mechanism is defined, and a short fragment of a free-flowing videotaped conversation is described. The bulk of the paper is then devoted to an attempt to understand the conversation in terms of the planning mechanism. This microanalysis suggests ways in which the planning mechanism ffiust be augmented, and reveals several important conversational phenomena that deserve further investigation.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/84","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/0084.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/84.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/bibtex/84","volume":{"slug":"1979","title":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1979","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/","year":1979,"location":"Tokyo, Japan","dates":"August 20-23, 1979","editors":"Bruce G.
