Using language transcripts to identify maternal responsiveness

[Anne Warlaumont]

Dear Sarah,

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:

Dale, R. & Spivey, M.J. (2006). Unraveling the dyad: Using recurrence
analysis to explore patterns of syntactic coordination between
children and caregivers in conversation. Language Learning, 56,
391-430.

Best,
