The JJRS and the Study of Japanese Religions
Indicating Difficulty in Describing Something in Words
This study explores how the lexical hesitator koo is used to initiate or continue word searches in Japanese talk-in-interaction. The word koo (“like this,” “in this manner”) is canonically used as a proximal demonstrative adverb of manner, often accompanied by a depicting gesture. We argue that because of its continuity with the canonical use, the hesitator koo (a) projects a descriptive term as a possible search outcome, and (b) indicates diffic…
Tte Yuu Ka as a Repair Preface in Japanese
This study investigates the workings of the phrase tte yuu ka used as a “repair preface” in the context of replacing one formulation with another. We show that the use of tte yuu ka in the operation of replacement self-repair instructs the recipient to hear the repair solution as an alternative that is better suited for whatever purpose the speaker may be pursuing at the moment than the trouble-source formulation, without necessarily rejecting th…
Four Buddhist Intellectuals in Late 19th Century in Japan
In recent years, research on modern Buddhism, i.e., Buddhism from the Meiji Restoration (1868) onwards, has been flourishing in Japan. Drawing on existing scholarship, this paper attempts to elucidate the characteristics of the first stage of modern Japanese Buddhism. In the premodern period, Buddhist priests had been the only people able to articulate Buddhism. In the modern period, Buddhist intellectuals with Western academic knowledge re-artic…

Polar answers
How do people answer polar questions? In this fourteen-language study of answers to questions in conversation, we compare the two main strategies; first, interjection-type answers such as uh-huh (or equivalents yes , mm , head nods, etc.), and second, repetition-type answers that repeat some or all of the question. We find that all languages offer both options, but that there is a strong asymmetry in their frequency of use, with a global preferen…
Morphological self-repair
In this study we explore patterns of same-turn self-repair within the word, across ten typologically and areally diverse languages. We find universal processes emerging through language-specific resources, namely: recycling is used to delay a next item due, while replacement is used to replace an inappropriate item. For example, most of our languages with prefixes or proclitics recycle those elements to delay production of the root/host, while la…
Turn formats for other-initiated repair and their relation to trouble sources
Association of cigarette smoking with skin colour in Japanese women
These data suggest that smoking is associated with a darker skin colour. If our findings are confirmed by further studies, they could be used in antismoking campaigns or by smoking cessation services
The Development of Early Modern Onmyodo
Responding With Resistance to Wh -Questions in Japanese Talk-in-Interaction
Respondents to questions have various ways to display their stance toward the question addressed to them. This article examines the practice of deploying the negative response token iya in turn-initial position in response to wh-questions in Japanese talk-in-interaction. We show that iya-prefacing serves as an alert to the questioner that the respondent finds some aspect of the preceding question problematic. Our findings contribute to a growing …
Conversational repair and human understanding
Humans are imperfect, and problems of speaking, hearing and understanding are pervasive in ordinary interaction. This book examines the way we 'repair' and correct such problems as they arise in conversation and other forms of human interaction. The first book-length study of this topic, it brings together a team of scholars from the fields of anthropology, communication, linguistics and sociology to explore how speakers address problems in their…
The Female Christian Yin-Yang Master
Dans la première partie de cet essai, l'auteur, après un bref aperçu des études japonaises sur l'onmyōdō de la période Edo, définit ce dernier par quatre caractéristiques majeures. La première est le rôle du clan Tsuchimikado, qui prit le relais du clan Abe en matière de divination auprès de la cour impériale et du bakufu. L'ascension de ce clan est due avant tout aux rapports étroits entre Tsuchimikado Hisanaga (1560-1625) et le shōgun Tokugawa …
Claiming Uncertainty in Recollection
As part of a growing body of conversation analytic research on epistemics in social interaction, this study explores various uses of the Japanese sentence-final particle kke, which conveys the speaker's claim that she or he has some degree of uncertainty in recalling something from the past. The study aims to demonstrate how “mental” concepts like remembering and forgetting are grounded in, and bound to, communicative actions produced by interact…
Associating Gene Therapy with the Human Genome Project
As is often the case with cutting-edge biomedical technology, the introduction of gene therapy in Japan provoked discussions of ethics and safety while offering little hope for dramatic recovery. Nevertheless, only 5 years after the first authorized clinical trial in the USA, the first Japanese trial was conducted in 1995. This trial event garnered extensive media coverage but yielded little opposition. To understand the public reaction, a range …

An overview of the question–response system in Japanese
Transformative answers
A number of Conversation Analytic studies have documented that question recipients have a variety of ways to push against the constraints that questions impose on them. This article explores the concept of transformative answers - answers through which question recipients retroactively adjust the question posed to them. Two main sorts of adjustments are discussed: question term transformations and question agenda transformations. It is shown that…
Universals and cultural variation in turn-taking in conversation
Informal verbal interaction is the core matrix for human social life. A mechanism for coordinating this basic mode of interaction is a system of turn-taking that regulates who is to speak and when. Yet relatively little is known about how this system varies across cultures. The anthropological literature reports significant cultural differences in the timing of turn-taking in ordinary conversation. We test these claims and show that in fact there…
Marking a ‘noticing of departure’ in talk
The Achievement of Intersubjectivity through Embodied Completions
This study examines casual interactions between first language (L1) and second language (L2) speakers of Japanese, paying special attention to the coordination of vocal and non-vocal resources that are brought to bear on the achievement of intersubjectivity. More specifically, this study investigates a practice of ‘embodied completion’ (Olsher 2004), namely the practice of deploying a partial turn of talk that offers a projectable trajectory of o…
A cross-linguistic exploration of demonstratives in interaction
This study undertakes a cross-linguistic examination of several distinct usage types of demonstratives as “filler words” in the context where speakers encounter trouble in formulating a word during spontaneous speech production. The study documents the range of forms and functions of these demonstratives across diverse languages, and explores theoretical issues that arise from the empirical observation, including the question of why demonstrative…
Joint turn construction through language and the body
This article explores how participants in Japanese conversation use language and the body as resources for jointly constructing turns at talk during ‘description activities’. I examine how language and participants’ bodily conduct mutually contextualize one another to build temporally-unfolding frameworks of co-participation, and explore ways in which participants utilize such frameworks as resources to accomplish joint turn construction. By exam…
Projection and grammar
Discourse within a sentence
This study explores a phenomenon in Japanese conversation that might be regarded as “discourse-within-a-sentence,” or interpolating a sequence of talk during ongoing sentence construction. It explicates the way in which Japanese speakers use postpositional particles as a resource to incorporate an element in a parenthetical sequence into the syntax of a sentence-in-progress. It is shown that the usability of postpositions for achieving discourse-…

Marking a ‘noticing of departure’ in talk
Language and the Body as Resources for Collaborative Action
This study explores a range of vocal and visual practices deployed by Japanese speakers during the course of a word search in naturally occurring conversation, and shows how such embodied practices provide publicly available resources for recipients to organize their relevant participation in the ongoing word search. In particular, this study addresses the following three main issues: (a) how speakers mobilize their gaze to invite or not invite r…

The adaptation of Max Weber’s theories of religion in Japan
try in many areas, and eagerly incorporated the theories of major Western thinkers such as Weber and Karl Marx. These two figures in particular-Weber and Marx-were studied as the two major theoretical pillars in rethinking the historical process of the development of Japanese capitalism. Uchida Yoshiaki was not exaggerating when he commented that there is no country where Weber's work has been read more widely, or where the theoretical study of h…
Tokugawa-period disputes between Shugen organizations and Onmyōji over rights to practice divination
This article examines the conflict during the Tokugawa period between various Shugen organizations and onmyoji (diviners) associated with the Tsuchimikado family. The Tsuchimikado family was given both impe rial and shogunate sanction in the late seventeenth century as the official headquarters for all onmyoji throughout the country. The Tsuchimikado family used this authority to try to bring all divination activity under their authority, leading…
Resources and repair
Introduction The organization of repair in conversation has been the focus of much work in conversation analysis and related fields over the last twenty years (e.g., Hockett, 1967; Du Bois, 1974; Jefferson, 1974, 1987; Moerman, 1977; Schegloff, Sacks, and Jefferson, 1977; Schegloff, 1979, 1987a; Goodwin, 1981; Levelt, 1982, 1983, 1989; Carbonell and Hayes, 1983; Hindle, 1983; Levelt and Cutler, 1983; Reilly, 1987; van Wijk and Kempen, 1987; Good,…
