Abstract
The paper starts from the concepts of frame and participants’
alignment as defined by Goffman (1986) and Tannen (1993) and uses them in
the analysis of a telephone conference in a multinational company where
English is the lingua franca. The purpose of the analysis is to identify the
frame changes and the linguistic devices that mark them as well as the
possible misunderstandings that such changes can cause for participants.
