It explores how explanations are not delivered in isolation but unfold through dynamic, structured sequences of interaction between participants. Beginning with the smallest units, we examine how individual dialog acts and multimodal signals form micro-patterns within turns. These, in turn, compose meso-level structures such as pragmatic frames, that organize sequences of interaction into meaningful, goal-oriented episodes. At the macro-level, we identify common types of explanatory dialogues, such as inquiry, information-seeking, or deliberation, which are shaped by participants’ goals and situational demands. The chapter highlights how these abstract patterns of structure are instantiated differently across social and situational contexts and proposes that understanding them is crucial for designing socially intelligent and adaptive XAI systems. By analyzing how these structures emerge and function, we o!er a framework for operationalizing explanation structures in a way that supports co-constructive and context-sensitive human-AI interaction.","lang":"eng"}],"project":[{"_id":"122","name":"TRR 318 - Subproject B3"}],"date_created":"2025-09-11T13:54:27Z","type":"book_chapter","title":"Structures Underlying Explanations","status":"public","year":"2026","publication_identifier":{"eisbn":["978-981-96-5290-7"]},"author":[{"id":"103339","full_name":"Jimenez, Patricia","first_name":"Patricia","last_name":"Jimenez"},{"first_name":"Anna Lisa","last_name":"Vollmer","full_name":"Vollmer, Anna Lisa"},{"full_name":"Wachsmuth, Henning ","last_name":"Wachsmuth","first_name":"Henning "}],"publication_status":"inpress","date_updated":"2025-09-12T11:43:07Z","publisher":"Springer Singapore","_id":"61220","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"103339","editor":[{"full_name":"Rohlfing, Katharina","first_name":"Katharina","last_name":"Rohlfing"},{"full_name":"Främling, Kary","first_name":"Kary","last_name":"Främling"},{"last_name":"Lim","first_name":"Brian","full_name":"Lim, Brian"},{"full_name":"Alpsancar, Suzana","last_name":"Alpsancar","first_name":"Suzana"},{"full_name":"Thommes, Kirsten","last_name":"Thommes","first_name":"Kirsten"}]},{"publisher":"Association for Computational Linguistics","_id":"61234","user_id":"84035","status":"public","conference":{"name":"Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue"},"external_id":{"arxiv":["2504.18483"]},"place":"Avignon, France","oa":"1","citation":{"mla":"Fichtel, Leandra, et al. “Investigating Co-Constructive Behavior of Large Language Models in  Explanation Dialogues.” <i>Proceedings of the 26th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue</i>, Association for Computational Linguistics.","bibtex":"@inproceedings{Fichtel_Spliethöver_Hüllermeier_Jimenez_Klowait_Kopp_Ngonga Ngomo_Robrecht_Scharlau_Terfloth_et al., place={Avignon, France}, title={Investigating Co-Constructive Behavior of Large Language Models in  Explanation Dialogues}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 26th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue}, publisher={Association for Computational Linguistics}, author={Fichtel, Leandra and Spliethöver, Maximilian and Hüllermeier, Eyke and Jimenez, Patricia and Klowait, Nils and Kopp, Stefan and Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille and Robrecht, Amelie and Scharlau, Ingrid and Terfloth, Lutz and et al.} }","ama":"Fichtel L, Spliethöver M, Hüllermeier E, et al.
