Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims at investigating, through a conversation analytic approach, how “coherence” in everyday conversation can be accomplished. Specifically, we focus on verbal and nonverbal behaviors of speakers and recipients in the launching of an activity in conversation as well as the restart of an activity abandoned through various contingencies in interaction. The study also investigates the turn-initial items employed to solve the problem of progressivity of an activity in interaction. The analyses of naturally-occurring conversational data reveals verbal and non-verbal resources, such as conjunctions, a pointing gesture, repetition of preceding gesture or utterance, that mark the relationship between turns or sequences. The study also attempts to propose the model of the entry or reentry processes of an activity in everyday conversation.
