Feedback utterances are among the most frequent in dialogue.Feedback is also a crucial aspect of linguistic theories that take social interaction, involving language, into account.This paper introduces the corpora and datasets of a project scrutinizing this kind of feedback utterances in French.We present the genesis of the corpora (for a total of about 16 hours of transcribed and phone force-aligned speech) involved in the project.We introduce the resulting datasets and discuss how they are being used in on-going work with focus on the form-function relationship of conversational feedback.All the corpora created and the datasets produced in the framework of this project will be made available for research purposes.
