在谈话中，说话者倾向于“适应”或“调整”对方，改变他们交流的方式和内容，使之更接近对方的话语。这里我们关注的是“语言对齐”，即基于他人选择的词语选择的变化。尽管语言一致性在许多不同的语境中都可以观察到，而且它的程度与权力和讨人喜欢等重要的社会因素相关，但它的来源仍然不确定。我们建立在最近的概率对齐模型基础上，使用它来分离可归因于单词和单词类别的对齐。我们在两个背景下建立了对齐模型：电话交谈和微博回复。我们的结果显示了对齐的证据，但它主要是词汇上的，而不是绝对的。此外，我们发现话语行为在很大程度上调节了对齐。这一证据支持这样一种观点，即对齐是由与正在进行的话语相关的策略交际过程形成的。
In conversation, speakers tend to “accommodate” or “align” to their partners, changing the style and substance of their communications to be more similar to their partners’ utterances. We focus here on “linguistic alignment,” changes in word choice based on others’ choices. Although linguistic alignment is observed across many different contexts and its degree correlates with important social factors such as power and likability, its sources are still uncertain. We build on a recent probabilistic model of alignment, using it to separate out alignment attributable to words versus word categories. We model alignment in two contexts: telephone conversations and microblog replies. Our results show evidence of alignment, but it is primarily lexical rather than categorical. Furthermore, we find that discourse acts modulate alignment substantially. This evidence supports the view that alignment is shaped by strategic communicative processes related to the ongoing discourse.
