<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Does anybody know of an annotated chat corpus on the internet and/or of <BR>
a standard for the description of chat structures?</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
The only 'standard' that I have visited is located at http://www.cs.vassar.edu/CES/<BR>
<BR>
However, there really should be a convenient internet reference which lists all <BR>
the known categories or annotation, all the known annotations in each category, a<BR>
formal description of each annotation, and an explanation of how each annotation<BR>
is typically used in language systems.<BR>
