Abstract
This study investigates to what extent interlocutors converge regarding the type of conversational discourse unit used as dialogue progresses. The focus is on specific sequences in a task-oriented dialogue (describing and drawing novel 2D objects in turn) when speakers undertake a similar action at a given sequential position. It was found that interlocutors systematically endeavoured to be similar to their dialogic partner in terms of the choice of unit type to conduct instruction.
