The paper addresses dialogue act annotation in speech corpora. Using existing generic schemes for dialogue act annotation, number of drawbacks are experienced, therefore the primary dialogue act categories are redefined and evaluated based on authentic speech data annotation, done by two independent annotators. The results confirm appropriateness of the defined dialogue act categories for empirical use as well as point out the ambiguous and borderline cases that need to be addressed in the future.
