Abstract
A dialog is the interactive analogon of a program. The syntactical structur of dialogs consisting of free inputs and input-dependent outputs is represented by means of a local syntax for describing these units and a global syntax describing their global connection in a dialog. The external form of the input syntax is a hierarchical syntactical partition of the whole set of input words. Considerations on the consistency yield additional conditions for the local syntax. Detailed examples explain the method of syntactically describing conversational languages.
