QuestionTimeSpeech v.1

QuestionTimeSpeech v.1 is a dataset on speech contributions during parliamentary question time sessions from Australia (2011-2022), Belgium (2010-2022), Canada (2006-2022), Croatia (2004-2022) and the UK (2010-2022). Each speech contribution during a question time session is treated as an observation (e.g. questions, answers, replies, points of order, interruptions, speakers’ interventions, etc.). Besides the actual transcript, the dataset includes information on the contributors such as party affiliation, status (government, opposition), position (opposition, majority, cabinet), role (prime minister, opposition leader, minister of finance, etc.) and gender (male, female). For some countries, the dataset also provides information on the contributor’s constituency (Australia, Canada and the UK) as well as the issue that is addressed (Australia, Canada and the UK). For Belgium and Croatia, we have also included the English translation. Read more in "ReleaseNote_QuestionTimeSpeech v.1".
