Abstract(in English) Multilingual communities using machine translation to overcome language barriers are showing up more and more frequently. However when people communicate in their native languages using machine translation, they face various problems in constructing common ground. In this study, we focus on common ground on tripartite communication. Then, tripartite from three different language communities- Chinese, Korea, and Japan- worked on referential tasks in their shared second language (English) and in their native language using a machine translation embedded chat system. As a result, shared basis was disrupted in machine translation-mediated communication because of intransitivity. To support natural communication, we need to resolve intransitivity in addition to this asymmetries and inconsistencies, caused by machine translation.
