This paper describes the structural an-notation of a spoken dialogue corpus. By statistically dealing with the corpus, the automatic acquisition of dialogue-structural rules is achieved. The di-alogue structure is expressed as a bi-nary tree and 789 dialogues consist-ing of 8150 utterances in the CIAIR speech corpus are annotated. To eval-uate the scalability of the corpus for creating dialogue-structural rules, a di-alogue parsing experiment was con-ducted. 1
