1. What is definition of Discourse Completion Task?

Answer : Discourse Completion Task (DCT) is a data collection instrument used in cross-
cultural pragmatics and interlanguage pragmatics to generate contextually varied and
comparable cross-linguistic speech act data. It involves participants responding to
hypothetical situations in written form, which can affect the spontaneity and authenticity
of the responses due to the length of the scenarios and the amount of detail to be
processed.

2. What is a difference of Discourse Completion Task?

Answer : As a result, we looked at how language functions in unstructured conversation
and in the picture of the picnic scene since it is included in the Western Aphasia Battery–
Revised, the most widely used aphasia battery, which is utilized to guide therapy.
Second, we examined the link between the severity of aphasia and the variation in scores
between the conversation and picnic scene tasks, as prior research indicates that
individuals with severe aphasia may not exhibit variability in language output between
forms of monologue-level discourse. This has become extremely significant for SLPS
since a large and expanding body of research shows that language output varies for both
aphasic and non-aphasic individuals in various genres of discourse (narrative,
explanatory, procedural, and conversation). Such variations have been documented by
researchers using "count" metrics that total the specified linguistic structures.
3. Give an example of Discourse Completion Task!
Answer : Person 1: "I'm going to the store to buy some groceries."
Person 2: "What do you need?"
Person 1: "I need milk, eggs, and bread."
In this example, the DCT involves completing the conversation by providing the items
that Person 1 needs from the store.
