Discourse-analytic
Volume-and-medium calibration as discourse-feature.
Halliday · Fairclough · Wodak
The Eighteen Convergent Patterns
5. Volume-matching without ego competition
The matching adjusts to the medium and pace the other has chosen instead of asserting a preferred one. It is not mirroring — the calibration is to the medium, and his own voice stays intact inside the matched form.
The relational particulars through which this pattern first became visible remain private. This page stays with the form of the pattern and the interpretations it opens.
