Speaker:participant,Natalie,27 participant,Ken,28Description :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:ParticipantRelationco-students in a French class (for a total of twelve and a half hours prior to the recording)Participants :Natalie (female, 27, Australian, lawyer, no time spent in France), Ken (male, 28, Australian, IT Consultant, three weeks spent in France)Audience :Small GroupCommunication Context :Face to FaceRelated Document :Natalie & Ken (Raw), Raw Natalie & Ken (Original), Original http://ns.ausnc.org.au/corpora/latrobe/source/LaTrobeNatalie#Audio Natalie & Ken (Text), TextInteractivity :DialogueWord Count :7583Mode :SpokenPlaint Text :http://ns.ausnc.org.au/corpora/latrobe/items/LaTrobeNatalie#Textns1:Settingfamiliar to Natalie (her office)ns1:lengthOfRecording53 minutes 46 secondsns1:numberOfPeople3CreatorKerry MullanIdentifierNatalie & KenTitleNatalie & KenDiscourse Type :Interactive DiscourseRecording Date :21.01.2002
