Diagnostic consultations: a speech-act theoretical reconstruction for the design of consultation systems.
In this paper the theory of speech acts is applied for a structural reconstruction of medical diagnostic consultations. The reconstruction provides the conceptual model for a research prototype of a consultation tool which is expected to play a mediating role between the participants in the professional diagnostic discourse. Preliminary results of the design will be outlined.
