Abstract
Mary-Annick Morel: Intonation, looks and genres in a French conversation. We analyzed an extract from a free dialogue. The results show the great variability in the different genres employed by the speaker. This variability is not due to the speaker himself, since he knows the current object of discourse, but rather to the vocal and gestural feedback of the listener. Even if they follow the implicit rules of a smart running dialogue in French, these backchannels always provoke breaches in the dialogue, thus obliging the speaker to reorientate his discourse and adopt another genre.
