| A group of people (the Interlocutors, or Interlocutor_1 and Interlocutor_2 together) have a conversation. No person is construed as only a speaker or only an addressee. Rather, it is understood that both (or all) participants do some speaking and some listening --the process is understood to be symmetrical or reciprocal. In this frame, the purpose of the conversation is generally social, rather than specifically to decide something or exchange information, or to quarrel (see Discussion and Quarrelling). | |

| George ESTUVO BROMEANDO con los alumnos después de la clase. | |
| Interlocutor_1 [Int_1] | The individual or individuals that form the more prominent (i.e. agentive) party of a conversation, as compared with Interlocutor_2. That is, Interlocutor_1 is generally encoded as the External Argument of verbs, and peripheral FEs that do not make reference to the event itself generally make reference to Interlocutor_2. Thus a Purpose (or Means, Depictive, or Manner) is construed to be that of Interlocutor_1, not necessarily that of Interlocutor_2 or the group of Interlocutors as a whole: | |
