Last week I posted a query seeking a lost reference (Linguist
14.3299).

>I read an article a few years ago which compared naturally occurring
>data with role play, and possibly also with DCT data, focussing, as I
>remember, on the speech act of expression of gratitude. The findings
>were to the effect that naturally occurring instances took more turns
>and were more elaborate than the role plays. I've misplaced my
>reference, and would appreciate it if anyone can supply same.

I would like to thank C�sar F�lix-Brasdefer for 
identifying the article for me.
