<br/>   abstract  = {We examined conversational non-cooperation in human–human task-
oriented dialogues in English. Our approach was to identify prosodic and semantic patterns that characterize replies to information-seeking dialogue acts of
task-solving, in a corpus holding competitive and cooperative scenarios. Appropriate and inappropriate replies were manually defined on the dialog act level; all
information-containing replies were characterized in terms of speech signal and
semantic content (vocabulary, entropy, sentiment). We found that communicative
means for dodging a question include reduced content-providing, increased negative sentiment and a stronger F0 declination trend. Some prosodic markers also
indicate that holding back information increases the speaker’s cognitive workload.},
