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 linguistics combines an interest in linguistic phenomena and structures with the theory and methodology of conversation analysis (CA) and contextualization theory (CT). It is conceptualized as an interface between linguistic analysis and the analysis of social interaction.
Gemeinsame Anfänge
(2020)
Dieser Aufsatz ist eine persönlich-biographische Würdigung für Ewald Reuter, mit Fokus auf die Anfänge unserer gemeinsamen Entwicklung zum Sprachwissenschaftler bzw. zur Sprachwissen-schaftlerin im Rahmen des sozio-kulturellen Milieus der Fakultät für Linguistik und Literatur-wissenschaft (LiLi-Fakultät) der Universität Bielefeld in den 1970iger Jahren.
For Charles Goodwin, Chuck
(2018)
This appreciation will not be a testimonial to Chuck’s numerous publications and research achievements – I am sure that others will have a lot to say about those. Instead, I will say something about how I personally experienced and think of him, as a researcher personality, based on the limited time and the few occasions that we have had together.
Interactional linguistics
(2018)
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 - sentences, clauses, phrases, clause combinations, and particles - are mobilized for the implementation of specific actions in talk-in-interaction. A final chapter discusses the implications of an interactional perspective for our understanding of language as well as its variation, diversity, and universality. Supplementary online chapters explore additional topics such as the linguistic organization of preference, stance, footing, and storytelling, as well as the use of prosody and phonetics, and further practices with language. Featuring summary boxes and transcripts from recordings of everyday conversation, this is an essential resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on language in social interaction.
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.
Thematische Schwerpunkte des Sammelbandes bilden die Inhalte und die Ziele in der Erforschung und Analyse von Migrationsprozessen und die daraus resultierenden Situationen von Sprachkontakt und Kulturtransfer in Europa und Übersee. Neben der thematischen Einführung in die Migrationslinguistik widmet sich der Band den migrationsbedingten Formen des Sprachkontaktes und der Sprachverwendung in Nordamerika sowie verschiedenen Sprachdynamiken in Europa. Auch der sprachliche Integrationsdruck zwischen Asien und Lateinamerika wird in diesem Band thematisiert. Neben Beiträgen von bekannten Migrationslinguisten wie Georges Lüdi (Universität Basel) und Hermann Haller (City University, New York) finden sich theoretische und deskriptive Ansätze zu Sprachkontakt, Sprachwandel und Sprachverfall infolge von Migration aus der Perspektive verschiedener Einzelphilologien. Mit Beiträgen von Lena Busse, Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen, Hermann Haller, Friederike Kern, Georges Lüdi, Isolde Pfaff, Elton Prifti, Claudia Schlaak, Margret Selting, Thomas Stehl, Lars Steinicke und Maria Wilke.
