A Database for the Exploration of Spanish Planning
Carlos Gómez Gallo | T. Florian Jaeger | Katrina Furth
Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'10)

We describe a new task-based corpus in the Spanish language. The corpus consists of videos, transcripts, and annotations of the inter- action between a naive speaker and a confederate listener. The speaker instructs the listener to MOVE, ROTATE, or PAINT objects on a computer screen. This resource can be used to study how participants produce instructions in a collaborative goal-oriented scenario, in Spanish. The data set is ideally suited for investigating incremental processes of the production and interpretation of language. We demonstrate here how to use this corpus to explore language-specific differences in utterance planning, for English and Spanish speakers.

Production in a Multimodal Corpus: how Speakers Communicate Complex Actions
Carlos Gómez Gallo | T. Florian Jaeger | James Allen | Mary Swift
Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'08)

We describe a new multimodal corpus currently under development. The corpus consists of videos of task-oriented dialogues that are annotated for speaker’s verbal requests and domain action executions. This resource provides data for new research on language production and comprehension. The corpus can be used to study speakers’ decisions as to how to structure their utterances given the complexity of the message they are trying to convey.
