Firstly, we show that reenactors use several different gaze patterns depending on whether the depicted original event is dialogic or non-dialogic. Secondly, we compare the use of different resources for initiating reenactments and switching roles during reenactments with regard to the interactional function of the different alternatives. Specifically, we describe a multimodal practice for switching characters during reenactments that are designed to invite laughter. In sum, the findings add to our knowledge about the various communicative functions of gaze in social interaction.}, language = {en} } @article{Selting2017, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {The display and management of affectivity in climaxes of amusing stories}, series = {Journal of pragmatics : an interdisciplinary journal of language studies}, volume = {111}, journal = {Journal of pragmatics : an interdisciplinary journal of language studies}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0378-2166}, doi = {10.1016/j.pragma.2017.01.008}, pages = {1 -- 32}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{Selting2012, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Complaint stories and subsequent complaint stories with affect displays}, series = {Journal of pragmatics : an interdisciplinary journal of language studies}, volume = {44}, journal = {Journal of pragmatics : an interdisciplinary journal of language studies}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0378-2166}, doi = {10.1016/j.pragma.2012.01.005}, pages = {387 -- 415}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The paper investigates cases in which the recipients' affiliation with the speaker's affect in telling a complaint story is not (or not only) expressed through assessments or shorter comments or response cries but (also) through tellings of a complaint story of their own. After first complaint stories, next speakers may continue with similar or contrasting second or subsequent stories, in order to accomplish affiliation with the prior speaker's story and affective stance. Similar stories are contextualized as such with similar footings or similar embodiments; contrasting stories are contextualized as such with other footings and/or other embodiments. Nevertheless, not all subsequent stories are receipted as affiliative: the study of a deviant case shows how a subsequent story can be produced and treated as disaffiliative.}, language = {en} }
