Interaction by inscription
(2001)
This paper investigates uses of inscriptions — graphic acts and the marks resulting from them — as rhetorical and socio-symbolic devices in face-to-face interaction. The analysis of a business-negotiation between two German entrepreneurs reveals that the integration of inscriptions and talk often yields hybrid symbols: while signifying within an instrumental domain such as record-keeping or accounting, they may simultaneously participate in the ‘mise-en-scène’ of conversational action or serve as metaphoric ‘graphic gestures’. Reconstructing these local meanings of inscriptions requires close analysis of the co-ordination of talk and graphic activity, of the movement patterns of graphic acts, and of the visual gestalt of graphic marks. The paper ends with a discussion of inscriptions as turn-construction units.
Der folgende Beitrag fokussiert die kommunikative Praktik „Fragen“ im Beratungsformat Führungskräfte-Coaching. Fragen stellen laut Praxis-Literatur und Ausbildungsmanualen zu Coaching ein, wenn nicht das, zentrale Interventionsinstrumentarium dar. Trotz dieser formulierten Omnipräsenz und Omnirelevanz gibt es bis dato kaum empirische Erkenntnisse über die tatsächliche Verwendung von Fragen im Coaching. Fragen sind weder in der quantitativ operierenden, psychologischen Wirksamkeits- bzw. Outcome-Forschung noch in der qualitativ operierenden, linguistischen Prozessforschung (zentraler) Forschungsgegenstand. Diese Forschungslücke gilt es im Austausch mit der Praxis und unter Einbezug aller relevanten Disziplinen und Methoden zu schließen. In einem ersten vorbereitenden Schritt macht es sich der vorliegende programmatische Beitrag zur Aufgabe, das Phänomen „Fragen im Coaching“ als Forschungsgegenstand der linguistischen
Gesprächsanalyse zu etablieren. Fragen im Coaching werden dabei sowohl bezüglich ihrer Form, ihrer Funktion als auch als institutionsspezifische soziale Praktik diskutiert, wobei Erkenntnisse zur Verwendung von Fragen in benachbarten professionellen Gesprächen wie Psychotherapie oder Arzt-Patient-Kommunikation als erste Orientierung herangezogen werden. Im Zentrum der gesprächsanalytischen Diskussion steht der Beitrag, den Frage-Sequenzen zur Veränderung und damit zur lokalen Wirksamkeit von Coaching leisten. Der Artikel endet mit einer kritischen Evaluation der Möglichkeiten einer gesprächsanalytischen Erforschung von Frage-Sequenzen und skizziert den Mehrwert von interprofessioneller und interdisziplinärer, insbesondere linguistischer und psychologischer, Forschung für die Coaching-Praxis.
Reformulating place
(2013)
This report examines what can be accomplished in conversation by reformulating a reference to a place using the practices of repair. It is based on an analysis of a collection of place references situated in second pair parts of adjacency pairs taken from a wide range of field recordings of talk-in-interaction. Not surprisingly, place references are sometimes reformulated so as to indicate a misspeaking or in pursuit of recipient recognition. At other times, however, we show that place references can be reformulated to more adequately implement the action of a turn in prosecuting the course of action of which it is a part. In these cases repairing a place reference can target a source of trouble associated with implementing the action of a turn at talk, and thus reformulating place can serve as a practical resource for accomplishing a range of interactional tasks. We conclude with a more complex case in which two reformulations are deployed in responding to a so-called ‘double-barrelled’ initiating action.
Feedback utterances are among the most frequent in dialogue. Feedback is also a crucial aspect of linguistic theories that take social interaction, involving language, into account. This paper introduces the corpora and datasets of a project scrutinizing this kind of feedback utterances in French. We present the genesis of the corpora (for a total of about 16 hours of transcribed and phone force-aligned speech) involved in the project. We introduce the resulting datasets and discuss how they are being used in on-going work with focus on the form-function relationship of conversational feedback. All the corpora created and the datasets produced in the framework of this project will be made available for research purposes.
This study analyses the use of the Polish wez- V2 (take-V2) double imperative to request here-and-now actions. The analysis is based on a collection of approximately 40 take-V2 double imperatives, which was built from a corpus of 10 hours of video recordings of everyday interactions (preparing and having meals, playing with children, etc.) taking place in the homes of Polish families. A sequential analysis of these data shows that the take-V2 construction is commonly selected in situations where the request recipient could be expected to already be attending to the relevant business (e.g., because they committed to this earlier in the interaction), but isn’t. By selecting the take-V2 format, the request speaker reanimates the recipient´s responsibility for the matter at hand.
The contribution deals with the interactive structure of doctor-patient-communication. After a short discussion about the relevance of doctor-patient-communication within the public health policy, an outline is given on the medical and linguistic research on doctor-patient-communication in Germany. Basic features of conversations and the conversation analytic methodology are presented then. Conversation analyses of doctor-patient-communication reveal five main interactive components which are discussed in detail. Finally, some considerations concerning implementation of linguistic research in medical practice are discussed.
This paper argues for the need of training doctors in order to improve their skills of listening to patients and of conducting the interaction with them. It argues for applied discourse analysis as an approach to medical discourse which provides for the soundest empirical basis for developing training schedules. The article shortly reviews the basic procedures and stocks of knowledge which are proper to applied discourse analysis. It then turns to the improvement of doctors' skills of active listening to the patient of and analyzing his/her communicative displays, e.g. regarding emotions, subjective theories of illness and identity concerns of his/her sufferings. Finally, aspects of the improvement for doctors' communicative skills are discussed, e.g. enhancing the comprehensibility of doctors' turns at talk, the management of the patients' participation in medical dialogue and the formulation of questions.
