The goal of this work is to present a model of Russian conversational discourse that will help explain some of the systematic differences between Contemporary Standard Russian (CSR) and Russian colloquial speech (RR). The structure of Russian dialogue is examined through the analysis of transcribed conversation, level by level, using a variety of theoretical frameworks proposed for English and artificial intelligence. The aim is to determine how much systematicity prevails at each structural level, how it is encoded and recognized, and how it can account for certain features or colloquial speech. For if a discourse model can account for the communicative adequacy or forms and locutions unacceptable in CSR through alternative, compensatory sources of meaning, and if this compensation is sufficiently regular, then the rules and tendencies that shape utterances in dialogue can be considered part of the system of the language, langue, while the non-canonical output itself is parole. By expanding the traditional boundaries of langue, much of the apparent non-grammaticality of RR can be explained as loosely predictable, contextually conditioned variation of CSR. The body of the work is in three parts, each devoted to a separate analytical level. Part I explores the adjacency pair as a minimal unit of dialogic text through a study of question-answer pairs, and presents a hearer-based model of discourse processing that integrates lexico-syntactic, pragmatic, interactive and social knowledge. Part II explores how cohesion marks linear and non-linear connections in conversational text, and how it can account for problems or reference, ellipsis and substitution. The operation of anaphora, inexplicable by grammatical rules alone, is shown to depend, in part, on consituation, background knowledge and the norms of conversational discourse. Part III is devoted to the broader issue of textual coherence, exemplified by cohesion, but defined by semantic, propositional, pragmatic and dynamic macro-structures that include topic, rhetoric and interpersonal goals. The composite model is presented in full and evaluated in the Conclusion to the work.
