Abstract

This paper describes part of the corpus collection efforts underway in the EC funded Companions project. The Companions project is
collecting substantial quantities of dialogue a large part of which focus on reminiscing about photographs. The texts are in English and
Czech. We describe the context and objectives for which this dialogue corpus is being collected, the methodology being used and make
observations on the resulting data. The corpora will be made available to the wider research community through the Companions Project web site.
