The paper discusses the range of findings and theoretical concepts on which a conversation analytic study of the constitution of meaning in interaction might draw. It focuses on research on problems of word-semantics and linguistic categorization in context which have been researched by cognitivists and conversation analysts. While cognitive studies have mainly dealt with semantic representation, syntactico-semantic composition and the impact of pragmatic and inferential factors on interpretation, discursive approaches have centered upon interactional processes and the uses and functions of categorization in talk-in-interaction. The article concludes with a discussion of the prospects and eventual benefits of a more intense combination of the cognitive and the discursive approach.

Using instances of conversations of among German adolescents, this paper aims at an empirical, conversation analytic reconstruction of interactional procedures by which participants accomplish locally relevant meanings of words. Object of the study is the evaluative adjective assi, which is a common item of German adolescents' slang. Evaluative adjectives are said to be either polysemous or underspecified in meaning. The paper shows how interactionalists accomplish local meanings of the item by using it in certain sequential environments (story prefaces, comments and conclusions) which are related to genres of moral entertainment (e.g. gossip, fictitious stories). Locally relevant features of word-meaning (such as affective meaning, lexical opposition, exclusion of semantic features) are specified in more detail by interactionalists as they use specialized practices (such as expressive enactments, contrasting, blocking implications) which are realized by specific linguistic means (such as paraverbal strategies, negation, disjunctive connectives).

In diesem Beitrag soll versucht werden, den Begriff „gesprochenes Standarddeutsch“ (vgl. a. Schneider 2011) aus Sicht der interaktionalen Linguistik (IL, Selting/Couper- Kuhlen 2000) zu beleuchten. Dies mag überraschen, denn „Standardsprache“ ist ein Begriff, der in der IL keine Rolle spielt. So sehr „Standardsprache“ in der Soziolinguistik ein umstrittenes Thema ist (vgl. Bex 1999, Milroy/Milroy 2005, Ammon 2005, Hundt 2010), so wenig ist er es in der IL. Daher gibt es auch keinen etablierten Zugang, keine etablierte Definition o. ä. aus IL-Sicht. Die Frage wird daher zunächst sein, ob und warum es auch für die IL nützlich sein kann, sich mit der Frage zu befassen, und vielleicht sogar notwendig ist, zu einem Begriff von „gesprochener Standardsprache“ zu gelangen. Allerdings müssen wir vorausschicken, dass dieser Beitrag keineswegs eine ausgearbeitete Lösung anbieten wird. Wir werden einige konzeptbezogene und methodische Überlegungen entwickeln, wie man den Begriff „Standard“ aus IL-Sicht als „Gebrauchsstandard“ fassen und einem so verstandenen Standard auf die Spur kommen kann.
Der Beitrag diskutiert vor dem Hintergrund allgemeiner Eigenschaften von gesprochener Sprache in Interaktionen, inwiefern die Konstruktionsgrammatik (KxG) aus Sicht der Interaktionalen Linguistik (IL) eine geeignete Basis für eine Grammatik der gesprochenen Sprache abgeben kann. Affinitäten und Perspektivenunterschiede zwischen KxG und IL sowie Potenziale und Grenzen ihrer Integration werden aufgezeigt. Am Beispiel einer Untersuchung von dann und also als Inferenzindikatoren wird das konstruktionsgrammatische Zeichenverständnis problematisiert, und es werden einige generelle Überlegungen zum Stellenwert von Grammatik im Kontext einer Theorie der verbalen Interaktion formuliert.
