In this study we explore the manifestation of prosodic convergence between pairs of Italian speakers involved in a non-competitive game. Results show evidence of prosodic convergence and/or divergence between partners, where prosodic parameters and coordination strategies involved can vary across dialogue pairs. Also, degree of asymmetry in prosodic convergerce appears to be related to speaker empathy.
