Abstract

The paper investigates word search sequences in a corpus of guided tours, in which tourist guides speak Italian and German as foreign languages.

Using the approach of Conversation Analysis, the study describes and classifies the word search dynamics and strategies, through which tourist guides try to find the problematic word.
