Back Channelling, Repair, Pausing, and Private Speech.
White, Ron
Applied Linguistics, v18 n3 p314-44 Sep 1997
Focuses on differences in back channelling, repair, repetition, pausing, and private speech among Japanese and American study participants, based on sales negotiations. Findings indicate that differences in the deployment of such features as back channelling and pausing can result in pragma-linguistic breakdown, which is linked to culturally related differences.
