“…Completing a turn after the response has set in may thus be regarded as a practice to insist on one's own viewpoint and to indicate that one is sticking to it, regardless of the co-participant's divergent view. In this way, producing a delayed completion treats the response as an intervention, not as an interruption (cf., e.g., Ahrens 1997;Kim 1999;Lerner 2004b;also Schegloff 2002: 302). By producing the delayed completion the speaker gets to complete his/her turn.…”

“…Prior to the current study, delayed completions and other closely related phenomena have been studied mostly in Indo-European languages: in addition to studies on English (e.g., Lerner 1989Lerner , 2004b, research has been carried out based on data from German (Ahrens 1997;Oloff 2009Oloff , 2014a and French encounters (Oloff 2008(Oloff , 2009(Oloff , 2014a(Oloff , 2014b) (see, however, related analyses on Korean data in Kim 1999). This paper has demonstrated that even though previous studies have concentrated on Indo-European languages, delayed completions are not limited to that language family only: they exist also in conversations carried out in non-Indo-European languages, at least in the Finno-Ugric languages Estonian and Finnish.…”

“…Turn‐taking refers to the observation that, in most cases, one person speaks while others listen and the selection of the next speaker offers a broad range of observations (Sacks, Schegloff, & Jefferson ). If ‘trouble’ occurs and people interrupt each other, certain corrections are produced which follow rules that can be described quite precisely (compare two papers by Feuerhake & Lebero and Ahrens ). Obviously, things happen in conversations that are relatively independent of content.…”

This paper gives an overview of psychoanalytic process research, which brings to light the complexity of psychotherapy sessions. This complexity is so rich that many instruments intended to make the process measurable failed in the past because they initially used a strategy of complexity reduction. This method however did not help to further our understanding of the complexity involved. Three former presidents of the Society for Psychotherapy Research (Stiles, Hill, Elliot 2015) decided to solve the following equivalence paradox: many therapies work successfully though they all follow different theories, produce a heterogeneity of processes and often enough a misfit between what theories maintain to be a good process and their realization in the treatment room. As theories are often compared to maps, a driver would wonder which route to take. But therapists‐as‐drivers go undaunted ‐ and nevertheless achieve their goals together with their patients. Norcross and Wampold (2018) found that good therapists invent new therapies with every new patient. They hypothesize that it is because of conversation. This is in accord with the 3 former presidents’ proposal to return to detailed single case analyses including the micro‐analytic power of conversation analysis of which a few insights are outlined in this article.

“…It has been shown (e.g. by Ahrens, 1997;Gruber, 1998) that interruptions may be used in naturally occurring conversations to disagree emphatically with the other's position or to deny the other speaking rights. If opponents insist on their respective views beyond stating mutual disagreement, a verbal conflict is established (see Gruber, 1998;Muntigl and Turnbull, 1998;Dersley and Wootton, 2000).…”

An ‘interactive’ approach to interpreting overlapping dialogue in Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls (Act 1)

A notable feature of Caryl Churchill’s post-1979 plays is overlapping speech notated in the play script. It can be variously interpreted by readers: as marking interpersonal opposition, lack of interest, self-centredness - or enthusiasm and support. So the reader’s understanding of overlapping may influence his/her interpretation of the dramatic situation and character. I propose that certain discursive features in the play script may affect this interpretation in particular ways. I shall briefly analyse some extracts from Churchill’s Top Girls using a Conversation Analysis- (CA) based ‘interactive’ approach to the overlapping dialogue. Essentially, I suggest that co-participants’ reactions to conversational actions should be attended to as they reflect the discursive significance of those actions. Consequently, interpreting overlaps as disruptive interruptions will to a large extent depend on the interruptee’s response format. An interpretative resource is provided for the analyst with regard to the dramatic situation and character.
