Annotation: The scope of the research project is to identify, analyze and interpret communication strategies of speakers in the situation of language contact marked by the asymmetry of their communication competences. The project is aimed to explore the impact of the presence of these strategies on the efficiency of communication. The focus is on the dialogue between individuals with different competence in various natural languages, without a communication code common to all of them. The main interest goes to the application of strategies such as intercomprehension (inference), mediation and reformulation. The research is carried out on the original linguistically mixed corpus of spoken language. Its construction represents an important and added value of the project.
