| Abstract | This paper presents a corpus of human answers in natural language collected inorder to build a base of examples useful when generating natural languageanswers. We present the corpus and the way we acquired it. Answers correspondto questions with fixed linguistic form, focus, and topic. Answers to a givenquestion exist for two modalities of interaction: oral and written. The wholecorpus of answers was annotated manually and automatically on different levelsincluding words from the questions being reused in the answer, the preciseelement answering the question (or information-answer), and completions. Adetailed description of the annotations is presented. Two examples of corpusanalyses are described. The first analysis shows some differences between oraland written modality especially in terms of length of the answers. The secondanalysis concerns the reuse of the question focus in the answers. |
