Abstract Despite the vast body of research on communication strategies (CSs) and the way L2 learners manage to get their message across via these mechanisms, there is little research on Spanish as L2 in an interactional context and between different types of dyads. This is why this study attempts to examine a possible relationship between Spanish L2 learners’ use of communication strategies and the type of interactant (learner and native speaker). For this, twenty-four face-to-face interactions of two types of dyads carrying out two tasks were analysed by drawing on Dörnyei and Körmos’ taxonomy (1998) and Dörnyei and Scott’s interactional CSs (1997). The data collection involved video and audio recording, observation of participants’ interactions and stimulated recall methodology. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to investigate a possible association between CSs and the interlocutor factor. Findings confirm an association between the learners’ CS usage and the type of interlocutor as being more influenced by the speakers’ linguistic background and, consequently, the NS’s role as an L2 expert.

在互动环境中使用沟通策略：对话者的影响

摘要尽管对交流策略（CSs）进行了大量研究，并且第二语言学习者设法通过这些机制传达信息，但是在交互环境下以及不同类型的二元组之间，很少有人研究西班牙语作为第二语言。这就是为什么本研究试图研究西班牙第二语言学习者的交流策略使用与互动者类型（学习者和讲母语的人）之间可能存在的关系的原因。为此，利用Dörnyei和Körmos的分类法（1998年）以及Dörnyei和Scott的交互CS（1997年），分析了执行两种任务的两种类型的二元组的二十四面对面的相互作用。数据收集涉及视频和音频记录，观察参与者的互动以及刺激的回忆方法。进行了定量和定性分析，以调查CS与对话者因素之间的可能联系。研究结果证实，学习者的CS用法和对话者类型之间的关联受到说话者的语言背景以及因此NS作为第二语言专家的作用的影响更大。
