Abstract
Systems and methods may provide for separating a sentence into a plurality of clauses and applying a set of question detection rules to each of the plurality of clauses. Additionally, the sentence may be automatically designated as a question if the question detection rules indicate that at least one of the plurality of clauses is a question. In one example, at least one of the question detection rules defines an order of a plurality of parts of speech.
