Abstract
Posing complex database queries in informal natural language is a nontrivial task, and users have to learn a language to do this in. This study of natural language database queries indicates that people seem to recycle vocabulary and even syntactic constructions from the system output. A consequence for system design is that an interactive system should output language that a user can use, and set right interaction breakdowns with examples of acceptable language rather than error messages, thus utilizing the natural communicative and adaptive behavior of users.
