... Therefore, it is necessary to have a theoretical framework that is able to cover the dynamics of such processes, and to structure them in transparent phases. For these reasons, language management theory is particularly useful (Nekvapil and Sherman 2015;Nekvapil 2016;Dovalil and Šichová 2017;Fairbrother et al. 2018;Kimura and Fairbrother 2020;Marriott 1991). It is sometimes designated as a theory concerning language problems. ...

... Allwood's (2007) specification of parameters (see Lefringhausen et al., this issue, for an outline) provides a particularly helpful framework through its designation of four key elements: purpose, roles, artifacts, and environment. Research in sociolinguistics/pragmatics (e.g., Marriott, 1990;Roberts & Campbell, 2006;Tyler, 1995) has identified clear cultural differences in people's behavior in different communicative activities, along with misperceptions as to what was expected. However, the focus has primarily been on the misunderstandings that have occurred in a specific interaction, rather than a systematic investigation of people's conceptualizations of the parameters of a given communicative activity, and the extent to which they are prescribed or permitted. ...

... LMT took up from the very beginning some of the findings originating from conversation analysis (especially as far as the analysis of repair sequences is concerned) and its methods. The goal was and remains to capture both the audio and visual aspects of naturally occurring interactions (Marriott, 1991;Neustupny, 1996) and to analyse their detailed transcriptions. Conversation analysis focuses chiefly on the implementation phase; LMT, on the other hand, aims at encompassing all phases of the management process, that is, its methods have to enable the researchers to analyse noting, evaluation and adjustment design; or in other words, activities and phenomena from the mental field. ...

... In interactions in contact situations between speakers of different L1s, several factors contribute to how the participants perceive each other and react to situations. Asaoka's (1987) study of Japanese and Australians attending a dinner party and Marriott's (1991) study of a Japanese and Australian business luncheon focus on the problems that interlocutors encountered in their interactions. These two studies highlight the interactional differences and problems that arose due to divergent linguistic (i.e., grammatical and lexical), sociolinguistic (i.e., knowledge and application of how to communicate in a contextually appropriate way, including the content of communication, setting, participants, and variation), and sociocultural behaviours (i.e., non-language-related knowledge and application of cultural elements other than grammatical or sociolinguistic elements, such as customs, practices and values) of participants (Neustupný, 1997). ...
