abstract = {The present paper describes spoken dialogue corpus creation and its annotation
specification for analysis and objective evaluation of phonetic convergence
in human-human communication. The analysis of the corpus will serve for creation
of convergence models which could be implemented in spoken dialogue systems
based on spontaneous, expressive speech. The corpus consists of 13 hours of dialogues
between 16 pairs of Polish native speakers and controlled dialogues with a
teacher. The speakers knew each other and were at similar age, but during the recording
could not see each other. In each recording session the pair of speakers conducted
4 dialogues in neutral scenarios and 6 dialogues in expressive scenarios, 3 dialogues
with the teacher, 2 repetition tasks and 1 reading, which provided about 1 hour of
speech for each pair. The corpus is being annotated on several layers: orthographic
transcription of text, prosody, noise, flow of speaking turns, dialogue acts, agreement
and disagreement intervals, extraordinary events and speakerʼs attitude. This scenarios
combination and annotation specifications are novel, and promise to provide an
empirical foundation for both linguistic and computational dialogue modelling of
both face-to-face and man-machine dialogue. The results of preliminary analyses
were used for selection of recording scenarios for German speakers. The next step of
the ongoing project is to record dialogues between Polish L1 speakers with German
L1 and Polish L2 speakers.},
