Abstract
This study investigates to what extent interlocutors converge regarding the type of conversational discourse unit used when undertaking a similar action at a given sequential position as the dialogue unfolds. Drawing on the examination of the task-oriented dialogue where two English speakers describe and draw the novel 2D objects in turn, we found that interlocutors restlessly endeavoured to be similar to their dialogic partner in terms of the choice of CDU type to conduct instruction.
