Abstract

Two types of preference organization in interaction in response to a question that selects a next speaker in multi-party interaction separated into two categories are investigated. It is debated that a 'second-order' organization is present such that interactants prefer answers over response by the selected next speaker, revealing an observable preference for progressivity in interaction.
