Listener's responses during storytelling in French conversation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study concerns the evolution of listeners’ production during narratives in a French conversational corpus. Using the method of Conversational analysis in a first part of the study, we show that listeners use different discursive devices throughout the narrative. In a second part, we attempt to estimate this behavior in a systematic way by measuring the richness of morphosyntactic categories. We confirm the presence of specific discursive devices as repetition or reported speech produced by listeners in the end of the narrative while only a slight tendency is observed concerning the increasing density of the richer morphosyntactic categories.
