  Interlocutor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike a spokesman, an interlocutor often has no formal position within a government or any formal authority to speak on its behalf, and even when they do, everything an interlocutor says is his own personal opinion and not the official view of anyone.
An interlocutor was also the term for the master of ceremonies in a minstrel show.
An interlocutor is also the name given in Scots law to the formal order of the court.

 20th WCP: Socratic Paideia: How It Works and Why It So Often Fails
Socratic education involves the interlocutor in the confrontation with a self whose irrational attachments of appetite and ego are exposed and must be overcome for the interlocutor to experience catharsis.
If the interlocutor is virtuous and persists in the dialectic process, he will find himself taken out of his "accidental and irrational arbitrariness" and revealed in the light of reason, and he will also begin to find and remake his self-identity in the values of that rational process.
It is not that the interlocutor's speech cannot be examined, but the integrity of the speaker and his speech is violated--so he runs the risk of self-deception--and the epistemic and moral community is disrupted--so the principle of a common commitment to the truth discovered is given up.

 The Role of the Interlocutor in Conversation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In other contexts, the interlocutor can provide support or disapproval, feelings which can’t always be predicted beforehand just by knowing the participants’ opinions, authoritative status, gender, age, socio-economic status, etc. In the “Rights to Advise” article by Rymes, we see how advice and standpoints generally emerge from conversation.
When talking to somebody, we not only assume a lot about the interlocutor’s world knowledge, but we also need to know a lot about their roles in society and generally the rules by which the society we live in functions.
Thus, whether it is for approval or support, for active listening or passive “pretend-listening”, the role of the interlocutor is very important in the flow of conversation, use/usage of language, and ultimately the identities we construct through these interactions.

 20th WCP: Dialogue, Dialectic, and Maieutic: Plato's Dialogues As Educational Models
This is the maieutic art of Plato's Socrates with which he draws his interlocutors into stating and reflecting upon the implications of their uncritically held opinions (doksai).
Often, the dialogical interlocutor desired to identify with Socrates by doing as he did (his active judgments), since it had become exhibitively apparent that he indeed wielded power from the heart of his humble-seeming pose.
That is because the latter occasions are intended to be constructive, in the sense that their goal is to enhance an interlocutor's knowledge by demonstrating that his original concept was naive and misinformed.

Although the speech material was the subjects' side of conversations with the interlocutor, the interlocutor's participation was kept to a minimum.
He is asked by the interlocutor to arrange them in a particular and then to describe each one so that the interlocutor can put them in the same order.
The interlocutor encourages the subject to discuss at length his own interests and experiences, and topics he is familiar with.

The interlocutor asserts that Laura D. Fair was by no means a morally superior person, but (apparently) cynically mobilized such an attitude prevalent among the women in her world.
But then the interlocutor is a man passing as a woman (a practice that he claims is not uncommon in his universe).
She tells her interlocutor that she wishes her former lover to meet with "karmic justice," but that she does not wish to punish him herself, given the "kind of person" she is (which is not the kind of person he is).

This mutual orientation of 'oh' was frequently observed in my examples especially because the ESL speakers were not confident about their speech production and thus anticipated confirmation of their meaning by their teacher-interlocutor.
This paper will also propose that the particle not only signals the interlocutor's cognitive change but also expresses her intention to ratify and validate the ESL speakers' talk.
Although 'oh' seems to be a trivial discourse marker, it significantly facilitates communication between the teacher and students in the data.

 PHIL 161 Handout #7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In claiming that Socrates has shamed his interlocutors into accepting claims they should have rejected, the critics may be claiming that his interlocutors maintained the wrong beliefs for the wrong reasons.
The elenchus should proceed only on the basis of claims the interlocutor sincerely accepts (495a7-9, 516c8-9); he is free to challenge or withdraw any claim that he likes (461d3-4, 462a3-5, 465a7-8, 504c5-6).
If all the interlocutors are compliant on exactly the same problematic point, then additional elenctic inquiries would not make the thesis in question more plausible.

 Lecture notes, Ling 290
One could think of plural as simply adding one or more "others" (3) to the singular, in which case it makes sense that the inclusive would almost always have an additional plural form ((1+2)+3), whereas the exclusive often does not (1+3 already has +3 in it).
The speaker is the deictic center, the interlocutor may be a second deictic center (but not necessarily), and the meaning of terms varies depending on construal of distance from the deictic center(s).
In most languages, such a use of come would obligatorily be interpreted as instructing my interlocutor to arrive at the place where I am physically located at the time I make the request (i.e.

 Thrasymachus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Thrasymachus is therefore frequently portrayed as an early version of Machiavelli who argues in The Prince that the true statesman does not recognize any moral constrains in his pursuit of power.
In the scholarship on Socrates, Thrasymachus is sometimes seen as an interlocutor who shows the limits of the Socratic elenchus.
C.D.C. Reeve (1988) argues, for instance, that the conversation between Socrates and Thrasymachus illustrates that Socratic questioning cannot benefit a person like Thrasymachus, who categorically denies that justice is a virtue.

Grammar is hence not to be understood as a pre-requisite for discourse, a prior possession attributable in identical form to both speaker and hearer.
Its forms are not fixed templates, but are negotiable in face-to-face interaction in ways that reflect the individual speakers' past experience of these forms, and their assessment of the present context, including especially their interlocutors, whose experiences and assessments may be quite different.
Moreover, the term Emergent Grammar points to a grammar which is not abstractly formulated and abstractly represented, but always anchored in the specific concrete form of an utterance'.

 The learner-interlocutor relationship as a factor in second language listening comprehension: A sociolinguistic ...
There has been little research from a sociolinguistic point of view on the social factors of listening, particularly status relationships, and how they affect listening comprehension.
Those factors included the gender of the NNS/NS pairs, the interaction style of the higher status NS, and the ability of the interlocutors to redefine situational status.
The conclusion reached in this study was that status is only one part of the complex social relationship that exists in conversational interactions, and that a number of other factors have the potential to affect listening comprehension.

 Aristotle's Logic
Anyone arguing in this manner will, in order to be successful, have to ask for premises which the interlocutor is liable to accept, and the best way to be successful at that is to have an inventory of acceptable premises, i.e., premises that are in fact acceptable to people of different types.
One will be a method for discovering premises from which a given conclusion follows, while the other will be a method for determining which premises a given interlocutor will be likely to concede.
The second task is accomplished by developing lists of the premises which are acceptable to various types of interlocutor.

The most distinctive feature of this late work, often referred to simply as the Dialogues, is that it is written in the form of three dialogues.
The characters in the dialogues are “Rousseau” and an interlocutor identified simply as a “Frenchman.” The subject of these characters’ conversations is the author “Jean-Jacques,” who is the actual historical Rousseau.
This somewhat confusing arrangement serves the purpose of Rousseau judging his own career.
