Questionnaires are the most commonly used instruments in collecting data. This method is also accessible for doing research investigations. Questionnaires can also be a key factor in searching for a reliable source to build a corpus for specific purposes. Thus, specialists’ aid is a prerequisite in searching for scientific articles, specialized books and web pages in the corpus compilation process. In order to realize this, required questions need to be prepared. In this procedure, studying practitioners’ needs was the pivotal factor in conducting a survey using questionnaire. Taking their prevalence into account, it can be supposed that questionnaires are easy to create, design and use. However, it should be mentioned that in order to obtain expected results, the formation and sketching questionnaires requires time and careful consideration. This article presents the process of designing questionnaires based on certain criteria, the analysis of each developed question, and the active words that are used in the Oil and Gas industry taken from the practitioners have been input into the sketchengine.eu tool, useful webpages have been found. In this way, the size of the corpus has been enlarged. A developed online questionnaire has been surveyed among 331 practitioners, collected data has been analyzed, and further recommendations have been suggested.

This paper presents a method that uses a web questionnaire to create a corpus containing spontaneous utterances of natural ideas, which may contain grammatical mistakes. In an experimental implementation of the method, the subjects were informed that they were receiving nursing care from a person, and they were required to answer a web-based questionnaire in which their responses were recorded as speech utterances. Compared to the Wizard of Oz approach and interview-based corpus-creation methods, the presented method simplifies the collection of utterances. Furthermore, we conducted a two-fold assessment to verify the effectiveness of the presented method. First, the approach exhibited a significant reduction in workload compared to interview-style utterance collection. Second, we compared the variety of expressions collected when subjects were informed that they were talking to a person with those collected when they were informed that they were communicating with a nursing robot. The results indicate that, although the number of utterances was larger for a robot than for a person, in terms of other metrics such as time efficiency index, the total number of morphemes, the average number of morphemes per utterance, the number of unique morphemes, and coefficient of variation, the utterances were larger for a human speech target than for a robot.
