Abstract / Description of output
Entrainment is a phenomenon whereby speakers imitate each others’ speech patterns during a conversation. It is influenced by social and individual factors. This study aims to investigate whether interaction style predicts entrainment. Following existing studies, we operationalise interaction style using features related to expressive paralinguistics, turn-taking behaviour, and topic persistence. We extracted these features from conversations in the Switchboard I corpus before reducing them into a single interaction style variable. We measured the overall prosodic entrainment of the conversation as well as each speaker’s contribution using a geometric approach. To investigate whether speakers’ involvement scores and entrainment contributions are correlated, we used an actor-partner interdependence model. Results suggest that interaction style and prosodic entrainment are not associated. Possible explanations for these findings, as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.
