- to gather and compare the experts’ annotations in order to provide a set of relevant criteria for dealing with segmentation alternatives,
- to test and improve the online guidelines out of their application by several annotators,
- define an adaptative methodology with the experts.

Phd student
François Delafontaine (Orléans) : In co-supervision with Orléans and Lyon, the Phd-student will work on contrastive (French-German) analysis of segmentation criteria, test and apply segmentation solutions based on several fields of linguistics (specifically interactional linguistics, syntax).
Research topic: spoken French and German interaction, syntax, pos-tagging, TAL.
Trainers
Margot Lambert (Lyon) : a 12 months training on microsyntactic and macrosyntactic manual annotations on the pilot corpus, pointing out critical cases to improve guidelines
XXXX (Orléans) : a xx months training on improving the chunker process and manual chunk annotation
