“…Participants and partners were all female native German speakers. Only female subjects were involved in this study to avoid possible confounds arising from complex effects of gender on dialogue organization [36,37]. The choice to include the same two partners for all subjects controlled for potential changes in subjects' behaviour according to partner (similar procedures have previously been used to rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org Phil.…”

Physiological rhythms are sensitive to social interactions and could contribute to defining social rhythms. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the implications of breathing in conversational turn exchanges remains limited. In this paper, we addressed the idea that breathing may contribute to timing and coordination between dialogue partners. The relationships between turns and breathing were analysed in unconstrained face-to-face conversations involving female speakers. No overall relationship between breathing and turn-taking rates was observed, as breathing rate was specific to the subjects' activity in dialogue (listening versus taking the turn versus holding the turn). A general inter-personal coordination of breathing over the whole conversation was not evident. However, specific coordinative patterns were observed in shorter time-windows when participants engaged in taking turns. The type of turn-taking had an effect on the respective coordination in breathing. Most of the smooth and interrupted turns were taken just after an inhalation, with specific profiles of alignment to partner breathing. Unsuccessful attempts to take the turn were initiated late in the exhalation phase and with no clear inter-personal coordination. Finally, breathing profiles at turn-taking were different than those at turn-holding. The results support the idea that breathing is actively involved in turn-taking and turn-holding.

“…Em relação à ordem social macro, Fishman destaca que o trabalho interacional é ignorado, passando a ser visto como um aspecto O objetivo dos autores consiste em problematizar diferentes hipóteses e interpretações sobre a interrupção, especialmente a masculina, na relação com as mulheres. A metodologia é de ordem micro, com dados gravados, mediante comparação entre resultados de um estudo anterior (Zimmerman & West, 1975), com interações espontâneas, e a pesquisa atual, feita em laboratório, entre pessoas de sexos diferentes. Os autores adotam as perspectivas quantitativa e qualitativa na discussão dos resultados.…”

“…20 Reviews of subsequent research suggest that while women may not use more tag questions, they are more likely than men to use them to facilitate conversation, rather than to confirm information. 21 Similarly, the earlier finding that in mixed conversation men are more likely to interrupt women than vice versa, 22 was modified by distinguishing interruptions that disrupt the speaker"s "turn" in conversation from those that are encouraging. 23 Research on compliments offers another example of the gradual deepening of concepts in this field.…”
