“…Such behaviour, which can readily be quantified in discourse analysis, is considered an indicator of socalled ''conversational dominance'' (e.g. Itakura, 2001) in every day and institutional conversation.…”

“…Situations where some protagonists take significantly more speech time than others, or where a particular partner notoriously monopolizes speech time, can be costly, especially when such behaviour leads to important issues being neglected and/or affects sound decision making. Like violations of the tolerance clause, violations of the balanced speech time clause are quantifiable indicators of conversational dominance patterns (Edelsky, 1981;Itakura, 2001), where partners who do not get their ''fair share'' of verbal expression are being dominated by others. Such scenarios can engender a heavy cost, in organizations and in families.…”

“…Such asymmetries are characteristic of conversational dominance (e.g. Itakura, 2001) and can be identified on the basis of quantitative data patterns relative to questioning, topic control, interruptions, and amount of speech. Communication scenarios where conversational dominance patterns are present may lead to victimization and domestic violence (Babcock et al, 1993).…”

“…-Violation of the tolerance clause is noted whenever team partners interrupt others or speak for them without having been invited to do so, as in classic conversational dominance patterns (e.g. Itakura, 2001). -When an utterance is obviously or repeatedly misunderstood in a sequence, violation of the clarity clause is noted, as in the following example:…”

Gender and Diversity in EFL Textbook Dialogues: Interactional Structure and Pedagogical Implications

Focusing on English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) textbook dialogues, this study explores both gender equality and diverse identities from the perspective of interactional competence. The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to examine gender differences in textbook dialogues concerning interactional patterns, and second, to derive pedagogical implications for gender equality and diverse identities in English‐language teaching from the findings. This study proposes the initiation‐response‐follow‐up (IRF) model of discourse structure as both an analytical framework and a pedagogical framework for exploring and incorporating interactional competence related to gender and diversity. Findings reveal an overall balance in the interactional patterns between females and males in the textbook dialogues, although major differences were found in relation to particular discourse features in the context of a specific type of dialogue initiation. These findings are discussed in relation to possible classroom strategies for incorporating the IRF discourse structure to inform the teaching of interactional competence and sociolinguistic skills, particularly as relevant to the linguistic dimension of promoting diverse identities.

During an interaction, interactants exchange speaking turns. Exchanges can be done smoothly or through interruptions. Listeners can display backchannels, send signals to grab the speaking turn, wait for the speaker to yield the turn, or even interrupt and grab the speaking turn. Interruptions are very frequent in natural interactions. To create believable and engaging interaction between human interactants and embodied conversational agent ECA, it is important to endow virtual agent with the capability to manage interruptions, that is to have the ability to interrupt, but also to react to an interruption. As a first step, we focus on the later one where the agent is able to perceive and interpret the user's multimodal behaviors as either an attempt or not to take the turn. To this aim, we annotate, analyse and characterize interruptions in humanhuman conversations. In this paper, we describe our annotation schema that embeds different types of interruptions. We then provide an analysis of multimodal features, focusing of prosodic features (F0 and loudness) and body (head and hand) activity, to characterize interruptions.
