This manual describes a method for annotating rhetorical relations, adjacency pairs, and other argumentation acts found in task-oriented spoken dialog [Traum, 1993; Traum and Hinkelman, 1992]. It is largely aimed at the novice annotator rather than the computational linguist, and therefore in choosing terminology we have valued intuitiveness over precision. This work came out of an exploration of how to mark structure above the speech act in the Monroe corpus [Stent, 2000 (TN 99-2)]. For more information about the development of this manual, see [Stent, 2000 (INLG)]. This tool is designed for use with ArgumentationTool, a tool for marking argumentation acts in dialog that is available from http://www.cs.rochester.edu/research/cisd/resources/aad/.
