Abstract
Health promotion is a complex activity that requires both explanation and persuasion skills. This paper proposes a three-layered model of dialogue coding, based on a rhetorical argumentation model, and a behavioural model of change. The model was applied to the analysis of a corpus of 40 e-mail dialogue exchanges on healthy nutrition advice. Examples of analysis are given.
