“…Number of participants is of central importance to polylogal interaction inasmuch as establishing coherence becomes often more difficult as the number of participants increases beyond the dyad (Bruxelles & Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2004;Herring et al, 2009;Honeycutt & Herring, 2009;Zelenkauskaite & Herring, 2008). All individuals involved in a polylogal interaction, regardless of whether they are message senders or readers, share the status of polylogue participant (Grosjean, 2004) and, therefore, Table 1 Coding scheme for turn-types Adjacent Turn (AT) Turn referring to immediately prior turn Non-adjacent Turn (NAT) Turn that refers to other but the immediately adjacent turn Video Turn (VT) Turn referring to triggering video clip Multiple Turn (MT) Turn referring to multiple prior turns Mixed Turn (MXT)…”

Since YouTube was launched, its emblematic video‐sharing facility has attracted considerable attention as a social networking system of cultural production. In addition to vlogging, YouTube offers a text facility through which YouTubers share and negotiate opinions. However, research into the latter is scarce, especially within language‐based disciplines (Androutsopoulos & Beiβwenger 2009; Zelenkauskaite & Herring 2008). This article contributes to addressing this imbalance by focusing on YouTube text‐based ‘conversation’ (Herring 2010a). Specifically, it examines coherence in a corpus of YouTube postings in Spanish. Although coherence has been the object of much academic debate in other forms of computer‐mediated communication, no empirical analysis of coherence in YouTube text has been undertaken to date. Results underline the conversational potential of this facility.

“…Bruxelles and Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2004;Kangasharju 1996). Among the devices participants use in order to make their coalition manifest are agreement markers, prompting or lexical assistance, as well as assistance in speech acts and argumentation (Bruxelles and KerbratOrecchioni 2004: 77), all of which quite likely result in a higher frequency of coconstructed turns and simultaneous sequences.…”

“…It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the features that have been described as characteristic of group interactions, such as their flexibility, fluidity, and their dynamics, have also been identified as "typical" of ELF interactions. And what Bruxelles and Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2004) have to say about polylogues equally applies to ELF interactions: "this is what makes them not only challenging but also of major interest for the analysis of talk in interaction" (Bruxelles and Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2004: 110).…”

Parties, persons, and one-at-a-time: conversation analysis and ELF

Drawing on an analysis of ELF data, this article deals with the characteristics and complexities of turn-taking in interactions involving three or more participants. Sacks et al.'s (1974) often quoted framework for turn-taking in conversations, which can still be regarded canonical reading in the conversation analytic literature, serves as a starting point for this investigation. The aim of this paper is to scrutinize the applicability of the turn-taking model for group interactions. A key concept in this regard is the notion of a party: the conversation analytic model for turn-taking posits that turn-taking does not take place between individual speakers, but between parties (hence the term multi-party conversation) which can potentially consist of several speakers (cf. Schegloff 1995: 32-33). In group interactions it is thus possible that overlap occurs among co-incumbents of the same party. This kind of simultaneous speech, however, has not yet been subject of systematic empirical analysis. The present paper offers a preliminary account of this aspect of turn-taking in multi-participant interaction by discussing data extracts from an ELF workplace meeting of seven speakers and suggests possible avenues for further research on the phenomenon.Zusammenfassung: Anhand einer Analyse von ELF Daten beschäftigt sich dieser Artikel mit den spezifischen Charakteristika und Komplexitäten die sich für Turntaking ergeben, sobald drei oder mehr TeilnehmerInnen an einem Gespräch beteiligt sind. Ausgangspunkt hierfür ist Sacks, Schegloff und Jeffersons (1974) Modell des Turn-taking in Konversationen, das bis heute einen oft zitierten Referenzpunkt in der linguistischen Forschung zu gesprochener Sprache darstellt JELF 2015; 4(2): Brought to you by | University of Sussex Library Authenticated Download Date | 9/30/15 5:02 AM und mit Recht als ein Standardwerk der konversationsanalytischen Literatur bezeichnet werden kann. Ziel dieses Artikels ist, die Anwendbarkeit des Modells auf Gruppengespräche zu diskutieren. Eine Schlüsselrolle kommt dabei dem Konzept der "party" zu: Die Konversationsanalyse geht generell davon aus, dass Turn-taking nicht zwischen Individuen stattfindet, sondern zwischen "parties", die potentiell auch mehrere SprecherInnen umfassen können (vgl. Schegloff 1995: 32-33). In Gruppengesprächen kann es daher zu Simultansequenzen zwischen den einzelnen SprecherInnen einer "party" kommen. Diese Art des Simultansprechens war bislang allerdings noch nicht Gegenstand systematischer empirischer Untersuchung. Anhand von Datenbeispielen aus einer Arbeitsbesprechung mit sieben SprecherInnen, die ELF als Verkehrssprache nutzen, soll in diesem Artikel die Komplexität von Turn-taking in Gruppengesprächen illustriert, die Anwendbarkeit des Konzeptes von "party" in der Analyse diskutiert und mögliche Wege für zukünftige Forschung auf dem Gebiet aufgezeigt werden.

“…NANT must definitely answer PUB10, but at the same time he needs to maintain the confrontation, in front of the public, with the other guest. Using the multimodal strategy described above, NANT groups PUB10 and BLAN in a "coalition" (Bruxelles and Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2004) to which it is possible to oppose with the same arguments. In other words, PUB10 and BLAN are indexed as representatives of the same general, ideological position against which NANT takes a stance.…”

Multimodal positioning and reference in argumentative talk-in-interaction

Drawing on a descriptive and language-oriented approach to argumentation, this paper explores the multimodal dimension of argumentation in talk-in-interaction by considering the various resources used by an opponent to refer to and position themselves in relation to the target of their opposition, namely the adverse position and/or the person who expressed it. More specifically, it studies how speakers exploit multimodal strategies in order to both maintain their discourse at a high level of generality (orientation to context-independency) and guarantee the indexicality of the position taken in the interaction and the disagreement (orientation to context-dependency). The analysis is based on two data collections documenting settings where all participants are temporally and spatially co-present: (i) a video-recorded corpus of Swiss French public debates and (ii) a video-recorded corpus of New Zealand English management meetings. Examining the role of multimodal orchestration of choices in gaze direction, deictic gestures, and speech in establishing different positions in argumentative events such as public debates or management meetings reveals specific contextual features of the activity types, participation frameworks, and sociolinguistic backgrounds involved in an argument.
