“…This is because the reporting is initiated with a preface as a preliminary to upcoming invitation. This interpretation echoes with Traverso et al (2018). and the number of identified cases is given in the middle column.…”

“…"do you think you'll be about") from the English data may not include a similar degree of volition as the Japanese volitional form (in this case, "koyoo", which is the volitional form of kuru ("to come")). the CA studies on invitations except for the French invitations (Traverso et al, 2018). This may be seen as additional information that may advance our understanding of the social action of invitations in CA.…”

“…In the studies, the cautious nature of the action was shared with other languages with variations -different linguistic or sequential solutions were used in each corpus. In French, Traverso et al (2018) demonstrated that the action of inviting was a "delicate" activity, which was evident in the features that were displayed on the inviter's side. Invitations were produced in a step-by-step manner, which included various pre-sequence formats where hesitations and self-repairs were often displayed.…”

“…Then, she produces the preface (glad I caught up with you) and provides background information about the party she is planning (lines 10-11). After a brief pause (line 12), Anna produces the "invitation proper" (Traverso et al, 2018) (I wonder if you want to come, line 13) and additional accounts (lines 13-14). Chloe shows her agreement (line 15) and congratulates Anna on her forthcoming birthday (line 17), but the response to the invitation is delayed.…”

This study offers a cross-cultural pragmatics perspective on invitations. It explores invitation seQuences in a symmetrical invitation-refusal situation, performed by 20 female native speakers of British English and 20 female native speakers of Japanese, from a discursive approach using role plays. The qualitative analysis of the data obtained from the adapted version of conversation analysis revealed some similarities and differences in turn designs of the English and the Japanese invitations. Although pre-sequences were highly frequent in the English data, they were more so in the Japanese data. The analysis of the linguistic formats of the invitations in the two sets of data revealed that an approach to handle uncertainty seen in the cases where the invitation was initiated with a preface differed – the English speakers used a syntactic solution whereas the Japanese speakers used a sequential solution. These findings highlight the importance of analysing speech acts in situated interactions.

“…Le laboratoire ICAR (Interactions, Corpus, Apprentissages, Représentations) a été pionnier en France dans l'étude des interactions, dès le début des années quatre-vingt avec les travaux fondateurs de Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni (1990, 1994, puis avec les recherches de Véronique Traverso concernant les aspects rituels, discursifs et pragmatiques des conversations familières (Traverso, 1996), l'expression de l'accord (Traverso, 2012) et du désaccord (Traverso, 2004), les problèmes d'intercompréhension (Traverso et Chernyshova, 2017), les interactions en site commercial (Kerbrat-Orecchioni et Traverso, 2008), le travail de co-construction dans les réunions (Bruxelles et Traverso, 2006), la structuration séquentielle des offres à boire (Traverso et Ursi, 2015) et des invitations téléphoniques (Traverso et al, 2018), les réparations dans les conversations en ligne (Traverso, 2011), les procédés de définitions dans les visites guidées (Traverso et Ravazzolo, 2016), ou encore le plurilinguisme dans le contexte de l'immigration (Piccoli et al, 2019). Les interactionnistes ont ainsi constitué, documenté et mis en ligne leurs corpus oraux d'interactions (Groupe ICOR, 2016) dans la banque de données Corpus de LAngue Parlée en Interaction (CLAPI, http://clapi.icar.cnrs.fr/).…”

Reason-for-calling invitations in Italian telephone calls: Action design and recipient commitment

This paper investigates three main formats for reason-for-calling invitations in Italian telephone calls and shows that these invitation formats are designed to include an informing/descriptive component and a requesting component. These two elements are encoded and foregrounded differently in the design of each format, constructing diverse ways to name, refer to or describe the social occasion that recipients are invited to attend and different ways of requesting the invitees to state their commitment to participate. Our findings provide evidence that, by using one of the three formats, speakers are able to tailor the invitation to the different contextual conditions in which they and their recipients may be when the invitation is made, as well as to the circumstances of the social event, with the inviters often displaying caution in extending the invitation. This paper also investigates the types of constraints on the degree of commitment from the invitation recipient that each format entails, offering a contribution to study preference organization in first actions.
