Analepses with topic-drop are frequent structures in German interaction. While hitherto the focus on analepses was a rather syntactic one, this paper deals with analeptic structures from a semantic perspective. It particularly concentrates on the semantic relations between the referents of the analepses and the prior interactional context. This analysis shows that even for rather simple analepses which just omit a constituent from the prior utterance, conceptual processes are more decisive for its interpretation than syntactic features of the antecedent constituents. This is even more the case for complex analepses that are only indirectly linked to the prior context, and for the interpretation of which hearers need to draw inferences. The paper argues that theoretical approaches like Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics can profit from adopting a semantic and conceptual perspective for the interpretation of interactional structures.
Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht aus interaktionslinguistischer Perspektive, wie Prinzipien deliberativer Demokratie in den Schlichtungsgesprächen zu Stuttgart 21 umgesetzt wurden. Wir konzentrieren uns dabei auf Interventionen, in denen der Schlichter Heiner Geißler die Wahrung von Verständlichkeit und Interessen der Bürger/-innen anmahnt, sowie Verletzungen der Wahrheitsnorm sanktioniert. Wir zeigen, wie Bürger/-innen sowie Normen und Werte rhetorisch als Ressource für das Einhalten von Verfahrensregeln genutzt werden, aber auch den Interessen des Schlichters selbst dienen. Dabei werden die Verfahrenswerte nicht immer einheitlich priorisiert. Die zugrunde liegende politische Diskussion wird zu Gunsten der Durchsetzung des Konstrukts ‚Faktenschlichtung‘ ausgeklammert.
The paper studies how the German connectives "also" and "dann" are used as displays of understanding in talk-in-interaction. It is shown that the use of also at turn-beginnings in pre-front-field position is a routine practice to explicate implicit meanings of the prior turn of the partner, which is presented for confirmation. Also thus indexes that explicated meanings are taken to be intersubjective, i.e. part of the interlocutors’ common ground. Turn-initial dann(in front-field position), in contrast, is routinely used to (a) index the formulation of a unilateral inference from the partner’s prior turn which is not claimed to have already been communicated by the partner, and is (b) used to preface different kinds of next actions which are framed as being a consequence from the preceding action of the partner. Drawing on data from four genres of talkin- interaction (conversation, psychotherapy, doctor-patient interaction, broadcasted talk shows), the paper discusses how functions of also and dann are related to their positions concerning turn-construction and topological fields, prosodic design, collocations, sequential structures and participation frameworks of the interaction.
