6. Gumperz and Roberts’ (1991) study of counselling sessions between British and In-
dian counsellors and clients in British neighbourhood centers offers an example of
culturally different use of gaze: Whereas Indian speakers ‘use gaze to monitor inter-
locutor’s reactions, to determine possible turn transition points or to ask for the floor
and call attention to new information’, British speakers ‘seek to meet the interlocu-
tor’s gaze when they are addressing them or listening to what they are saying’. These
nonverbal differences regularly lead to irritations between the clients and social
workers in the analyzed interactions.
7. Cf. Gumperz (1982) on differences in Black and White political speech styles; and
Gumperz, Aulakh and Kaltman (1982) on the different use of particles in Indian and
