Abstract

Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPAs) are limited in the languages they support, meaning many people are left to interact using a non-native language. Yet, we know little about how people interact with IPAs in this way. Through a conversation analysis (CA) perspective, we examine native (L1) and no...
