In the preceding three chapters, we have examined the differences between the Chinese and expatriate speakers in relational strategies on the interactional level. The analysis shows that the expatriates’ problem talk was completed within one turn, while the Chinese participants’ problem talk was a cross-turn, cross-speaker, coordinated action scheme. The expatriates’ relational strategies for problem talk were mainly found on the speech act level, while the Chinese relational strategies were not only found on the speech act level, but also on the turn-taking level.
