Abstract:
Casual conversation does not follow a highly interactive ‘ping-pong’ structure but rather develops
as a sequence of ‘chat’ and ‘chunk’ phases. Chat phases are highly interactive stretches amenable
to Conversation Analysis, while chunk phases present as longer monologic stretches where one
speaker dominates. Chunk phases can often be described in terms of genre, often manifesting as
narrative. We describe an annotation scheme for chat and chunks, the chat and chunk annotation
performed on six long (c. 1 hour) multiparty casual conversations, and outline plans to compare
these chat and chunk annotations to topic annotations on the same data.
