Abstract
An auspicious but unexplored environment for studying phonetic variation in naturalistic interaction is where two or more participants say the same thing at the same time. Working with a core data-set built from the multimodal Augmented Multi-party Interaction (AMI) corpus. The principles of Conversation Analysis are followed to analyse the sequential organisation of the talk and to explain the phonetic variation observed. Acoustic divergence and equivalence between simultaneous responses are described. Phonetic features discussed include duration and timing, pitch, loudness and phonation type. The interactional factors which explain the acoustic divergences are established through turn-by-turn analysis and consideration of gaze direction and other visible features. It is argued that any research on phonetic variation in naturalistic talk which disregards the local organisation of interaction will always be incomplete.
