Abstract
Multilingual communication often causes difficulty when speakers have different language proficiency. Real-time keywords potentially demonstrated positive effects when they are provided in cross-cultural communication. Previously it was found that keywords enhanced mutual understanding and knowledge in conversation, and it was beneficial when it was shown with the latency of 3 s of all matched utterance. However participants’ speech have not ever been investigated to reveal how speakers improved utterance in multilingual discussion with the textual support. In this paper speakers’ interaction were examined from the data set collected through the experiment as well as the use of keywords. It was found that dyad contribution to conversation was facilitated in mean length of utterance with the use of keywords, which was consistent with the data that speakers increased episodic utterance to refashion and expand own prior speech. Consequently speakers extended speech length by keywords, which was supported by speakers’ large number of sequence completion with repair sequence. These findings indicated real-time keywords boosted speakers’ utterance and progressed intercultural discussion via keywords.
