Abstract

We propose a procedure for the linguistic treatment of Spanish questions as a step prior to their classification in question answering systems. The main types of questionanswering systems and their basic architecture are described. We review the principal question classification taxonomies used to date and the different fields from which they have been derived. Finally, we present the stages of linguistic analysis that the text of questions in question answering systems should be subject to in order to facilitate the location of appropriate answers.
