Time Analysis on a Communication Process

The conversation is the most common interaction process in the daily life : the goal of this paper is the extraction of information on the evolution of a communicative process through simple quantitative measurements. The whole interview process has been considered as a complex system evolving in the time. Our approach founds on analogies between conversation processes and chaotic systems. The proposed procedure allowed the extraction of information on the conversation evolution : phase portraits with anomalous paths indicate situations where the communication has been troubled from external references. Some parameters showing very good indication on the process evolution are proposed.
