4 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We are not able to direct the behaviour of humans who communicate with the computer. Nevertheless, we can design our dialogue system in such a way as to minimize the reasons of repairs by the user. The primary strategy of the computer would be to provide clear and exhaustive information so that the need to clarify or re-formulate would be unnecessary. The computer itself must initiate repairs to clarify what information the user wants. The repair mechanism of the computer that simulates information officer can be prototypical (type A) because this occurs mostly in human-human communication.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Our further work will concentrate on the analysis of a bigger corpus in order to find out and explain more repair structures which could be modelled in a dialogue system.</Paragraph>
