Abstract
An approach is provided to receive, at a question answering (QA) system, a question and identify a politeness corresponding to a number of terms corresponding to the question that are included in a corpus of the QA system. The approach identifies the politeness of one or more terms included in each of a set of candidate answers responsive to the question. Finally, the approach scores each of the candidate answers, with the scoring being based, in part, on the politeness identified for each of the terms.
