Proposal of a Standard Utterance-Unit Tagging Scheme

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a standard utterane-unit tagging scheme, which has been developed by the discourse tagging working group under SIG-SLUD, JSAI. Utterance-unit tagging mainly addresses the type of illocutionary force and the role of The interaction unit. We have made a first version of the tagging scheme by surveying existing tagging schemes developed by several research groups. We have evaluated it on an experimental basis and thereby revised it to the new version that we propose as a standard scheme. The reliability of this scheme is demonstrated by another tagging experiment.
