“…In terms of the French tu vois, several corpus-based and a few CA/IL studies observe converging tendencies regarding its frequency of use, formal composition, and functions in spoken language. As for frequency, Cappeau's (2004) study based on the large spoken corpus CorpAix revealed that the verb voir ('to see') was the second most frequent verb used with the pronoun tu ('you' , 2nd pers. sing.)…”

Today, tu vois is one of the most frequent verbal expressions in spoken French (Cappeau 2004) and it is predominantly used as a discourse marker (henceforth DM) without complement (Andersen 1997(Andersen , 2007Cappeau 2004;Détrie 2010). Recent work within Interactional Linguistics has shown that speakers often use the construction in turn-final position to invite recipient response (Stoenica & Fiedler 2021).…”

Longitudinal change in linguistic resources for interaction

This article presents a longitudinal study of a second language (L2) French speaker’s (Aurelia) use of the construction tu vois (‘you see’) over 15 months. Research on first language (L1) French has shown that tu vois has been subject to grammaticalization, whereby the construction in spoken language frequently serves as a discourse marker rather than a complement-taking predicate construction expressing visual perception. Drawing on longitudinal Conversation Analysis, I qualitatively and quantitatively analyze Aurelia’s use of tu vois in relation to its turn position and interactional purposes. I document a similar change happening in Aurelia’s use of the construction over time as what has been observed in L1 French: While she initially deploys tu vois exclusively in its ‘literal’ sense of visual perception and with a complement (tu vois X, ‘you see X’), she eventually starts using it as a semantically bleached discourse marker for interaction-organizational and interpersonal purposes. A few ‘hybrid’ cases demonstrate the progressive nature of this change, and indicate further similarities between L2 acquisition and L1 grammaticalization processes. I discuss possible reasons for the documented change and address implications of the findings for research on both the development of L2 grammar-for-interaction and language change more generally.

“…One of the most frequent verbal expressions that people use when interacting with each other in French is tu vois 'you see' (Cappeau, 2004). The use of this linguistic resource is highly recurrent in spoken interaction, where it is involved in the construction of turns and in the management of turn-taking and turn-allocation.…”

“…(1) 'Comment je l'aurais écrit TV ' [Corpus Pauscaf (17) The topic of this study has emerged naturally from the conversational data that we examined. Following Cappeau (2004), we identified all recurrent linguistic structures combining the second-person singular pronoun and a verb in the present tense without a complement (clause) and found that tu vois 'you see' was the most frequent expression used in our data. It also appeared to be most recurrently used in turn-final position (see section "Data and Multimodal Features of Turn-Final Tu Vois 'You See"' infra).…”

One of the most frequent verbal expressions that people use when interacting with each other in French is tu vois ‘you see’ (Cappeau, 2004). Drawing on interactional linguistics and multimodal analysis, we examine the interactional functioning of this verbal expression when occurring in turn-final position. Previous studies on tu vois ‘you see’ in this position document only its use for marking the end of an utterance or for turn-yielding. The following aspects have thus far remained unexplored: The interactional environment in which the construction occurs, how it is connected to the speaker’s embodied conduct, the way in which it contributes to mobilizing a response from the recipient, as well as the nature of this response. Our paper addresses these issues and shows that turn-final tu vois ‘you see’ is systematically produced with a final rising intonation and coupled with the speaker’s gaze directed to the recipient. This multimodal practice is recurrently deployed in turns conveying the speaker’s emotional stance, in turns performing a dispreferred action, like disagreeing, and in turns claiming insufficient knowledge. The response that is invited using this multimodal practice is distinctly tailored to each of these actions: an affiliative response, an aligning response, and a response addressing the prior speaker’s claim of insufficient knowledge from the recipient’s own point of view. By presenting an in-depth study of the action sequences in which tu vois ‘you see’ is employed, as well as of its multimodal packaging, this contribution highlights the prospective, i.e., response-mobilizing potential of this interactional resource and shows that its use entails sequential implications even when it accompanies actions that project only weakly a response from the recipient.
