Speaker:participant,Marie,25 participant,Heather,38Description :Participants were informed that the researcher was looking at the general differences between French and Australian English speakers’ conversational styles, and were not given any further specific information. The researcher's own participation in the conversation was limited to asking questions on certain topics to initiate the conversation between the two speakers, and to adding comments from time to time. The participants were asked to talk to each other rather than to the researcher, although she was often included in the conversation. An attempt was made to ensure that the conversations were as similar as possible in terms of set-up, length and topics discussed, (although not all of the topics were covered in every conversation). To this end the researcher had prepared a list of topics on which to ask the participants for their opinion; these included such issues as life in Australia, the difference between French and Australian English speakers, multiculturalism, the role of honesty in a relationship, the importance of expressing one’s opinion, and the difference between tu and vous (the familiar and polite forms of you in French) for the French speakers.ns1:ParticipantRelationstrangersParticipants :Heather (female, 38, Australian, consultant/student, five months spent in France), Marie (female, 25, French, no current profession, fourteen months in Australia)Audience :Small GroupCommunication Context :Face to FaceRelated Document :http://ns.ausnc.org.au/corpora/latrobe/source/LaTrobeHeather#Audio Heather & Marie (Original), Original Heather & Marie (Text), Text Heather & Marie (Raw), RawInteractivity :DialogueWord Count :5844Mode :SpokenPlaint Text :http://ns.ausnc.org.au/corpora/latrobe/items/LaTrobeHeather#Textns1:SettingUnfamiliar to both (a room at university)ns1:lengthOfRecording35 minutes 45 secondsns1:numberOfPeople3CreatorKerry MullanIdentifierHeather & MarieTitleHeather & MarieDiscourse Type :Interactive DiscourseRecording Date :30.05.2001
