[Corpora-List] Looking for Meeting dialogues corpora...

[Vincenzo Pallotta]

Dear William,

thank you very much for your suggestions.

I tried to check the MICASE corpus but only the two examples (Advising
and Astronomy) are available... The browsing interface does not work at
the moment... I'll try later...

I guess there are some interesting available dialogues containing
decision making discussion, but it is very hard to find them in the
whole corpora, and in particular there are no description of the context
in which these discussion take place (the agenda, the discussed issue,
the domain, the names of participants, their roles, etc.)

 From the available excerpts of dialogues in DDC the one I have already
mentioned, which seems to be adequate for my goals is the Corpus of
Spoken Professional American English (CSPAE). I wonder if there are some
other similar corpora available.

By the way, I forgot to mention the COCONUT project corpus which is not
multi-party (two persons) but contains decision making discussions:
http://www.pitt.edu/~coconut/coconut-corpus.html

Maybe you would like to include it into your list...

Best Regards,

    Vincenzo Pallotta
