Gaze, addressee selection and turn-taking in
three-party interaction
Abstract: In this paper, I argue that gaze behavior in multiparty
interaction is essential for two aspects of turn-taking: for addressee
selection and for next-speaker selection by current speaker. The two
conversational tasks are related, but – at least in longer turns – not
identical and should be distinguished analytically. In multiparty
interaction, addressee selection by gaze is a non-trivial issue, as most
bodily arrangements make it hard or impossible for the current speaker to
look at all (intended) addressees at the same time. Rather, current speakers
alternatingly look at the co-participants they want to address. Further
details of this pattern of gaze alternation are discussed.
Keywords: addressee selection, current speaker selects next, turn-taking and
gaze, eye-tracking, multi-party interaction
