“…Hence, CA is a bottom-up rather than a top-down method for studying language interaction. In classroom interaction research, CA has become an increasingly important method to investigate classroom practices and learning, as its attention to detail uncovers important subtleties that influence the course of the interaction (R. Gardner, 2013). In the current study, CA allowed us to identify the phenomenon of requests for assistance in the data and inductively categorise the instances of this phenomenon into different types.…”

Language learning never gets old: learning a new language in later life

With the average life expectancy in especially developed countries steadily increasing, healthy ageing is prioritised on the research agenda. Most recently, several later-life activities have been related to improved mental and cognitive health. One of these activities is language learning. Indeed, in the light of the reported advantages of lifelong bilingualism, various studies have looked into bilingualism as a possible anti-ageing tool to delay the onset of symptoms of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, with as perhaps the most promising recent line of work intervention studies that introduce bilingual experiences to older adults in the form of foreign language courses meant to induce a protective effect on cognitive decline. Unfortunately, the scant studies available have not found convincing results, most likely due to several pitfalls in their designs, one of the most important being that method of instruction is rarely specified or controlled for. In this paper, we identify methodological concerns that need to be addressed when conducting experimental work related to later-life language learning, resulting in a research agenda for later-life language learning studies.

In our paper, we give an overview over what is known about some of the most frequent interjections in Danish talk-in-interaction: ja (‘yes’), nej (‘no’), mm (‘mm’), nå (approximately ‘oh’), and okay (‘okay’). We review the CA/IL literature on these words, and we present our own exemplary analyses of single instances of these words in extracts from our corpus of recorded, naturally occurring Danish interactions. Based on this, we argue that sequential position, epistemics, and affiliation and alignment should be taken into account when describing and categorizing dialogue particles in talk-in-interaction. Prosody and other phonetic cues are important for the realization of the above dimensions and functions and we review what is known about prosodic and phonetic cues plus add some of our own observations, without launching a full phonetic and prosodic analysis.

Conversation Analysis and Recipient Behavior

Abstract: Recipiency is half of conversation. When a speaker is producing a turn at talk, there will be at least one recipient.
