Affectivity in conversational storytelling: An analysis of displays of anger or indignation in complaint stories
This paper reports on some recent work on affectivity, or emotive involvement, in conversational storytelling. After presenting the approach, some case studies of the display and management of affectivity in storytelling in telephone and face-to-face conversations are presented. The analysis reconstructs the display and handling of affectivity by both storyteller and story recipient. In particular, I describe the following kinds of resources: - t…

Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics
Interactional linguistics is grounded on the premise that language should not be analyzed in terms of context‐free linguistic structures but as a resource for the accomplishment of actions in social interaction. With this in mind, interactional linguistics takes an interdisciplinary approach to a linguistic analysis that aims at an understanding of how language is both shaped by and itself shapes the actions it is used for. Interactional linguist…

Interactional Linguistics: Studying Language in Social Interaction
The first textbook dedicated to interactional linguistics, focusing on linguistic analyses of conversational phenomena, this introduction provides an overview of the theory and methodology of interactional linguistics. Reviewing recent findings on linguistic practices used in turn construction and turn taking, repair, action formation, ascription, and sequence and topic organization, the book examines the way that linguistic units of varying size…
The display and management of affectivity in climaxes of amusing stories
Praktiken des Sprechens und Interagierens im Gespräch aus der Sicht von Konversationsanalyse und Interaktionaler Linguistik
Der Beitrag erläutert zunächst die Verwendungsweise des Begriffs der ‚Praktik(en)‘ im Rahmen der Konversationsanalyse und Interaktionalen Linguistik. Daran anschließend werden Beispiele der Herstellung und Kontextualisierung von emotional beteiligten Höhepunkten konversationeller Erzählungen untersucht, in denen die Erzähler/innen und Zuhörer/innen bestimmte Affekte erkennbar machen: Freude oder Belustigung in Belustigungserzählungen und Ärger od…

Prosody and unit-construction in an ethnic style: The case of Turkish German and its use and function in conversation
This paper presents some results of the projects on Turkish German that we have carried out at the University of Potsdam, Germany, starting from 2004. Our empirical data from telephone conversations between young people of Turkish-German background from Berlin show that prosody plays an important role in the constitution of their ethnic style. In particular, prosodic phrasing is used for the construction of short turn-constructional units (TCUs) …

Einheitenkonstruktion im Türkendeutschen: Grammatische und prosodische Aspekte
Our article investigates grammatical and prosodic aspects of turn construction in ‘Türkendeutsch’ (Turkish German), a new ethnic variety of German that is spoken mainly by Turkish adolescents. In our approach, Turkish German is regarded as a style of speaking that is systematically used as a resource for the organization of natural conversational interaction. On the basis of interactional linguistic theory and conversation-analytic methodology, w…
Syntax and Lexis in Conversation: Studies on the use of linguistic resources in talk-in-interaction
This volume is a collection of current work at the interface of linguistics and conversation analysis. The focus is on linguistic items in their action contexts: syntactic structures and lexical items in data from natural conversations in six European languages: Danish, English, Finnish, German, Italian and Swedish. Some of the studies deal with similar practices in two different languages, which enables cross-linguistic comparisons. The notion o…
Dresden Fallbogen Contours as an Example of Regionalized German Intonation
Based on data from a Mid-German dialect area of Dresden, this article presents research on the structure and functions of regionalized intonation. The Dresden data comes from informal conversation-like settings and illustrates a contour that is typical of the Dresden city vernacular: a contour previously named and described as the Dresden Fallbogen . An analysis of the phonetic forms and phonological structures of the contour is provided, and its…
Listen: Sequenzielle und prosodische Struktur einer kommunikativen Praktik – eine Untersuchung im Rahmen der Interaktionalen Linguistik
I describe the construction of lists in my corpus of conversations in, mostly, Northern Standard German. With respect to the general structure of listing and lists, I will show the following points: (i) Listing is always an embedded practice; lists are normally middle parts of a larger three-component structure that consists of (a) the projection component, projecting more-to-come, i. e. a multiunit turn to be constructed, either a pre-detailing …

Identification of Regional Varieties by Intonational Cues: An Experimental Study on Hamburg and Berlin German
Two experiments examined the commonly held belief that regional varieties of German can be identified by intonational features alone. In both experiments, listeners were presented with regional intonational contours of German. In the first experiment, listeners judged contours of Hamburg urban vernacular compared with contours of Northern Standard German. In the second experiment, listeners judged contours of Berlin urban vernacular compared with…

Berlinische Intonationskonturen: Die Treppe aufwärts
In this study, the form and function of a contour is described that is claimed to be salient and typical of the Berlin vernacular. It is formed like an 'upward staircase', i.e. there is a lower platform on which pitch stays more or less on a lower level, then there is an ascending movement upward to a higher platform, on which the pitch again stays more or less on a high level up to the end of the unit. This contour is fairly frequently used in t…
The construction of units in conversational talk
The notion of Turn-Constructional Unit (TCU) in Conversation Analysis has become unclear for many researchers. The underlying problems inherent in the definition of this notion are here identified, and a possible solution is suggested. This amounts to separating more clearly the notions of TCU and Transition Relevance Place (TRP). In this view, the TCU is defined as the smallest interactionally relevant complete linguistic unit, in a given contex…
Prosody in Conversation: Interactional Studies
The essays in this volume are all original contributions dealing in one way or another with the analysis of prosody - primarily intonation and rhythm - and the role it plays in everyday conversation. They take as their methodological starting point the contention that the study of prosody must begin with genuine interactional rather than pre fabricated laboratory data. Through close empirical analysis of recorded material from genuine English, Ge…

Prosodie im Gespräch: Aspekte einer interaktionalen Phonologie der Konversation
In this volume, the author develops and warrants prosodic categories and analyses within the framework of an 'interactional phonology of conversation'. Major chapters deal with the role of prosody in the constitution of turn-constructional units and turns, the signalling of conversational questions, and the design of story-telling and arguing in conversational interaction. The author shows that and how participants make use of prosodic categories…
Towards an interactional perspective on prosody and a prosodic perspective on interaction
Introduction If prosody is understood to comprise the ‘musical’ attributes of speech – auditory effects such as melody, dynamics, rhythm, tempo and pause – then it is surely no exaggeration to state that a large part of this field has been left untilled by modern structural linguistics. Only a few scholars at the most have considered prosody, intonation in particular, worthy of their attention. Moreover, when they have done so, it has been primar…

Prosody as an activity-type distinctive cue in conversation: The case of so-called ‘astonished’ questions in repair initiation
In this chapter, I shall show that specific prosodic marking cues are used by participants in German conversation to distinguish between 'normal' and so-called 'surprised' or 'astonished' questions in the initiation of repair. This distinction appears to be indicated by prosodic means only. Prosodically unmarked initiations of repair and their marked counterparts are shown to construct different subtypes within repair sequences, in that they make…

Schon alt ist die Auseinandersetzung zwischen den ‚Ableitern‘, die Ellipsen aus vollständigen Sätzen herleiten, und den ‚Autonomisten‘, die dieselben sprachlichen Strukturen als eigenständige Strukturen ansehen. Seit den Arbeiten zur Ellipse im Rahmen der Forschungen zur gesprochenen Sprache und der frühen Gesprächsanalyse war und ist darüber hinaus die Ansicht verbreitet, daß neben einem grammatischen Ellipsenbegriff auch ein kommunikativer Elli…
