Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to explore whether a shared language background and visibility affected communicative success and interlocutor evaluation in an online environment. The results were obtained by the means of a spot-the-differences task and a questionnaire. The task was executed in Zoom, an online communications platform. A total of 32 participants took part in the experiment (two participants were excluded from analyses). Findings demonstrate that both visibility and language sharedness did not have an effect on neither communicative success nor interlocutor evaluation. However, multiple correlations revealed that there are several relationships between communicative success and interlocutor evaluation, in terms of likeability, solidarity, and competence.
