| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project examined linguistic and paralinguistic features Japanese university students employ in conflict talk during English language-learning discussion tasks. Examining conflict sequences, analysis found that in the opening phase, in turns following arguable claims, the opposer initiated short sequences with repetitions and why-type questions, and these preceded oppositions. Repetitions and why-type questions that directly follow a speaker's claim adumbrate upcoming oppositions. These questions call for accounts. Moreover, conflict talk closings are signaled verbally when conceding parties' tokens of acceptance and repetitions are observed at termination, and nonverbally when participants use gaze to show the conflict talk is over. This contributes to conflict talk research by foregrounding the examination of opening and closing sequences of conflict talk. Moreover, it shows what resources are used by second language speakers and how their competence is revealed in interaction.
