Over-Exposed Self-Correction: Practices for Managing Competence and Morality

Abstract When repairing a problem in their talk, speakers sometimes do more than simply correct an error, extending the self-correction segment to comment on, repeat, apologize, and/or reject the error. We call this “over-exposed self-correction.” In over-exposing the error, speakers may manage (and reflexively construct) a range of attributional troubles that it has raised. We discuss how over-exposed self-correction can be used to: (a) remediate errors that might suggest the speaker’s incompetence; and (b) redress errors that may be heard as revealing relational “evils” (implicating inadequate other-attentiveness) or societal “evils” (conveying problematic social attitudes and prejudices). The article thus shows how conversation analytic work on repair can provide a platform for studying the emergence and management of socially and relationally charged issues in interaction. The data come from a diverse corpus of talk-in-interaction in American, British, and Australian English.

Handling Turn Transitions in Australian Tactile Signed Conversations

Abstract This article explores how deafblind Australian Sign Language (Auslan) users, who communicate through an alternative range of modalities including tactile (hands) and kinetic (body movement) inputs, manage turn transitions. Studies of deafblind communication have typically employed a signal-based approach. In contrast, this article applies broader Conversational Analysis (CA) frameworks, which have been developed based on interlocutors who primarily rely on auditory-vocal and visual resources but have been productively applied to a range of languages, participants, and settings. Through fine-grained analyses of a single case study, this article examines how tactile Auslan signers orient to the relevance of turn transitions at possible completion points. The research illuminates the mechanics of how tactile Auslan signers negotiate turns and advances our understanding of both the analytical potentials of CA and the ways particular deafblind Auslan signers coordinate sequences, actions, and multimodalities in their interactional choreography. Data are in tactile Auslan.

Self-Repeats-as-Unit-Ends: A Practice for Promoting Interactivity During Surgeons’ Decision-Related Informings

Isobel Ross & Maria Stubbe, Department of Primary Health Care and General Practice, University of Otago, Wellington, New Zealand

Abstract Although information provision is a prerequisite of informed decision making in surgical consultations, research has shown that patients’ understanding of such information is often limited. We use conversation analysis to illustrate patients’ and surgeons’ management of interactivity, intersubjectivity, and progressivity during information provision, which frequently takes the form of extended tellings. In the midtelling phase of extended tellings, the surgeon is the primary speaker and patients orient to the temporary suspension of the usual turn-taking system. On the rare occasions that patients do take the floor midtelling, it is overwhelmingly following surgeons’ self-repeats-as-unit-ends, which include gist formulations. We argue that surgeons’ self-repeats-as-unit-ends are a practice for encouraging interactivity during extended tellings and as a consequence for facilitating shared understanding of decision-relevant information. Data are in English.

Hurting and Blaming: Two Components in the Action Formation of Complaints About Absent Parties

Marco Pino, Communication and Media, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Loughborough University, UK

Abstract This article investigates the action formation of complaints about absent parties—asking what makes them recognizable as such. It shows that recipient responses display their understanding that complaints comprise two components: a display of hurt (related to the impact of the complained-of events) and a blaming (attributing responsibility to an absent party). The setting, a bereavement support group in the UK, is perspicuous for this investigation because the group facilitators respond to the clients’ complaints by decoupling their constituent components, validating the hurt while avoiding affiliating with the blaming embodied in them. This makes visible these complaint-recipients’ distinctive orientations to the two components of complaints. The article advances understandings of the action formation of complaints; it documents practices whereby service providers can show compassion toward the hurt embodied in clients’ complaints; and it shows how principles of bereavement support are implemented in face-to-face interactions. The participants speak British English.

Alignment, Affiliation, and Engagement: Mothers’ Wow in Parent-Child Interactions

Abstract As a type of response token that involves emotional displays, interjections have received a substantial amount of scholarly interest in linguistics. Yet a paucity of research focuses on how emotion is displayed via interjections in interactions in situ. This article focuses on how surprise and other associated emotions are accomplished via wow in Mum’s turn when interacting with the child. Using Conversation Analysis and prosody analysis, we show three major functions of wow in mothers’ turns: showing/inviting alignment and affiliation, indicating high and low engagement, and making compliments. Importantly, we argue that although affiliation-invitation/display is a generic function of wow, it could be designed as part and parcel of other actions, indicating that something more is going on here. Data are in English.

Language Choice and the Multilingual Soundscape: Overhearing as a Resource for Recipient-Design in Impromptu First-Time Encounters

Philipp Hänggi, Department of Linguistics and Literature, University of Basel, Switzerland

Abstract When previously unacquainted people spontaneously strike up a conversation in multilingual public space, a fundamental practical problem with which they may be faced is language choice. Using video recordings of naturally-occurring first-time encounters collected in a variety of public settings, this article shows that one way of calibrating initial language choice in emergent encounters is by taking advantage of overhearables in the immediate environment. Analysis demonstrates how incidentally co-present individuals who are within earshot of one another aurally monitor co-present others and accountably exploit their sensory access to a previously-in-progress interaction for then implementing a recipient-oriented, linguistically fitted action when moving into focused interaction, thereby using overhearing as an occasioned resource for recipient-design. The analysis contributes to the study of openings between strangers in public space and our understanding of the relation between embodied participation and everyday multilingualism-in-interaction. Data are in (lingua franca) English, French, Italian, Standard German, and Swiss German.

History-Taking Questions During Triage in Emergency Medicine

Abstract Triage in emergency medicine is the initial process of assessing and categorizing urgency of patients’ conditions. During triage, nurses elicit patients’ problems and gather additional information through history taking and physical examination. This paper examines ways in which triage nurses construct history-taking questions and manage the task of urgency assessment. In video-recordings of triage interactions at an emergency department in Korea, nurses are oriented to building history-taking questions in the direction of ruling out urgency of patients’ conditions. First, triage nurses construct questions concerning patients’ current symptoms by undercutting their serious nature. Second, nurses also develop questions in search for a possible cause or diagnosis of patients’ problems, often proposing a non- or less urgent cause. Findings suggest that nurses may avoid overestimating the level of urgency in triage history taking and prioritize efficiency. Data are in Korean.

Look At/Check X: An Attention-And-Approval-Seeking Device

Catherine L. Tam, The Faculty of Humanities Teaching and Learning Unit, The University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa

Abstract In the home, parents and children are often co-present but engaged with different tasks. When children wish to engage their parents about something they have produced/are producing and to monitor their understanding of it, they need a means of obtaining both parental attention and understanding. I examine instances of children using the look at X directive (and its variant in South African English, check X) as an attention-and-approval-seeking device, where parents either respond by looking and approving or children pursue approval. By examining naturally occurring video-recorded interactions in the homes of two families with four-year-old children, I demonstrate that the directive sets in motion a pair of conditionally relevant responses of attending and approving. Through this practice, children monitor their own understanding of their production as an accomplishment and together parent and child (re)inforce normative expectations of children as apprentices and parents as knowledgeable authorities. Data are in South African English.
