Abstract

The study reveals the mechanism of speakers' mutual adaptation in a dialogue by means of pitch and pitch range convergence. The points of convergence are constituted by lexemes, which coincide in both speakers' outputs. They reflect the thematic and prosodic unity of the dialogue, which manifests itself in interspeaker including intergender interaction. The three models of interaction show structural variance, convergence being their common feature.
