Dear Sarah,<br><br>Sorry for the delay in reply. Recently, Rick Dale and Michael Spivey too are attempting to quantify the leading and following between speakers. Their approach uses cross-recurrence quantification analysis, which they consider a type of dynamical systems approach. It can be done on data taken from transcripts, such as words or grammatical constructions. If you're interested, you might consult the following paper:<br>

analysis to explore patterns of syntactic coordination between<br>
children and caregivers in conversation. Language Learning, 56,<br>

Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
I am interested in using language transcripts to identify whether<br>
mothers are redirecting or following their child's language/focus. Do<br>
you have any suggestions on how to proceed with this or which papers<br>
are relevant to this topic?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
