“…In other words, not every phrasal repetition will display the same relationship between the first and second saying; what Curl, Local & Walker (2006) show is that the production of a double is an accomplishment that plays a functional role -that of closing down a sequence of talk.…”

“…Another function-form pairing that employs aspects of phonetic production not usually captured in CA transcripts (though explicitly provided for in the 'fine' level of GAT 2) is that of 'doubles at closing' as described in Curl, Local & Walker (2006). These are selfrepetitions employed to close down a sequence of talk, as in the following example (fragment 5 of Curl, Local & Walker 2006:1726.…”

Form ≠ Function: The Independence of Prosody and Action

This paper argues for the importance of describing form independently of function, especially for prosodic and phonetic forms. Form and function are often conflated by language-in-interaction researchers when they give descriptive labels to the sound of talk (e.g. "upgraded" pitch, "continuing" intonation), and that tempts researchers to see a given form as having a given function or practice -often one that is influenced by the descriptive label. I argue that we should discipline ourselves to keeping to a purely technical description of any form (practice); that will then make it possible unambiguously to show how that form contributes to a particular function (action), without presuming the relationship to be exclusive.

“…With this reproduction, she shows herself as resolute in her assessment of the ticket price, and as having nothing else to say about it. She produces it with altered phonetic shape (prevocalization, creakiness, and final-lengthening), which is one way to implement sequence completion (Grivičić and Nilep, 2004;Curl et al, 2006). And so by indicating that she has nothing more to add, Rachel's self-repetition works to recompletion the sequence.…”

Sequence recompletion: A practice for managing lapses in conversation

Conversational interaction occasionally lapses as topics become exhausted or as participants are left with no obvious thing to talk about next. In this article I look at episodes of ordinary conversation to examine how participants resolve issues of speakership and sequentiality in lapse environments. In particular, I examine one recurrent phenomenon---sequence recompletion---whereby participants bring to completion a sequence of talk that was already treated as complete. Using conversation analysis, I describe four methods for sequence recompletion: [ 4 _ T D $ D I F F ] turn-exiting, action redoings, delayed replies, and post-sequence transitions. With this practice, participants use verbal and vocal resources to locally manage their participation framework when ending one course of action and potentially starting up a new one.

“…He suggests one purpose is the rendering of recordings as manageable/searchable, and another, use in analysis and presentation of a phenomenon. Instead, I would suggest three types of transcript: a reference transcript, a working transcript, and a presentation transcript (see also Kelly &Local 1989, andCurl, Local &Walker 2006). The first, the reference transcript, is motivated by the manageability question.…”

The Independence of Phonetic Form and Interactional Accomplishments

In this response to Peter Auer's commentary, I revisit the question of phonetic form and interactional meaning as well as the question of what the aim of transcription actually is (or should be). What I advocate is a careful look at the ways in which our analyses link linguistic forms with actions.Peter Auer's commentary shows that it is possible to take my paper forward in ways I did not foresee, and for that I am grateful. Whilst in the main I agree with most of his points, there are two areas upon which I would like to expand: the question of phonetics, phonology and conversation analysis; and the production and use of transcripts. At first these struck me as two rather unrelated topics, but upon further reflection it becomes clear that one's-my-attitude toward the latter is undoubtedly
