Conclusion

Most of the features of a human-human conversation described by Sacks et al. can be applied to human-computer interaction. While empirical data would be necessary to prove the presence of some features, the presence of most other features is evident. It was also shown that features of human-computer interaction are not present in human-human conversation.
