Details This study aims to present a preliminary analysis of English and Japanese ‘reactive tokens’ (Clancy et al. 1996) in dialogue through a move-structure coding scheme and transcribed utterance information. In accordance with Carletta et al.(1997)’s coding system called ‘moves’, two aspects of dialogue processes are investigated: the function of reactive tokens and their patterns of move sequences, which represent how the participants control their shared information and negotiate to achieve their collaborative task purpose, i.e. to reach their respective goals.
