VI Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In conclusion, this paper outlines one crucial component of the computational model for argument analysis described in \[Cohen 83\]. It presents a first attempt at a solid framework for clue interpretation within argument understanding. The approach of studying goal-based dialogue and structure reconstruction also allows us to comment on the the function of clue words within analysis.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The theory of clue interpretation gives insight into a known construction within sample dialogues; examining the computational properties provides a framework for design of the analysis model. It is important to note that there has been no effort to date to study the use of clue words extensively, distinguishing cases where they occur and suggesting when clues are necessary. The clue theory presented here also has possible implications for other application areas. For example, in resolving referents Sidner (\[Sidner 79J) has suggested that clues will occur whenever the alternate focus list is consulted, beyond the focus stack default. Our claim is that the necessity for clues is closely tied to the complexity of processing and the reduction in processing operations afforded by the additional structural information provided by the clue words.</Paragraph>
