It is widely agreed that inference plays an important role in communication through natural language. In previous years, though it was believed that its role was too complex for it to be clearly delineated and, in particular, handled computationally. Nowadays, the focus is on investigating the role of inference in concrete phenomena within the general topics of Natural Language Processing and Human-Computer Interaction. In this thesis, I am going to focus on the role that certain types of inference have in a particular task within a dialogue system.
