초록

This study investigated whether linguistic alignment occurs at the stylistic level in natural conversations involving L2 learners. Specifically, the study examined the degree to which various lexical features were differentially aligned in dialogue between L2-L1 and L2-L2 dyads and which factors affected the magnitude of stylistic alignment. The degree of stylistic alignment was quantified using a language style matching metric. The study analyzed a corpus of 167 transcribed conversations using a computational tool. Findings demonstrated that stylistic alignment took place to a greater extent in the L2-L2 dyad than in the L2-L1 dyad in the choice of the four lexical features. However, L2-L1 dyads used more sophisticated words, which may in turn potentially contribute to word learning during natural conversations. The significant effects of group membership, familiarity between interlocutors, and proficiency differences on stylistic alignment are also discussed.
