|Abstract=This paper explores the co-construction of ‘Activity Spaces’ within weekly rehearsals of an amateur, mixed-level dance company. Data are taken from field notes, participant observation experience, and video recordings. An earlier analysis identified three canonical spatial divisions that participants co-create during ballet rehearsals: the ‘Dancing Space’, the ‘Teaching Space’, and the ‘Peripheries’. The present study shows that these Activity Spaces are not demarcated physically but are instead entirely co-constructed through participants’ own multi-modal actions within the rehearsals. An important aspect of this co-construction are the participation roles dancer, choreographer, participants not currently dancing. Participants’ contributions to activities are in part negotiated through their turn design and their positioning within and across Activity Spaces. The analysis focuses in on the ‘Teaching Space’, how it is assigned meaning within the group, and how it is reconfigured according to participants’ needs through their mobilisation of multi-modal resources. Of special interest are moments in which a member takes up or relinquishes a teaching/choreographing role. Features given attention include bodily orientations, such as dancers’ positioning of themselves to have visual access to the choreographer; prosodic features, such as choreographers’ use of raised volume relative to surrounding interaction; and verbal contributions from the choreographer and from dancing and currently-not-dancing participants. Data are in English.

|Abstract=The focus of this study is on participants’ prosodic collaboration during talk-in-interaction, and this phenomenon is introduced here as “prosodic orientation”. The term “orientation” has been used in conversation analysis to describe many forms of observable reaction by one participant to another.
The term prosodic orientation describes one speaker responding prosodically to another
speaker’s prosody in the immediately following turn. It does not encompass any other form of orientation which participants may display in conversation, as for example laughter or meta-linguistic comments.

|Abstract=Telephone opening sequences from a corpus of English speaking radio phone-in programs are investigated, following a ﬁrst noticing of the potential for a pause between the presenter’s introductory turn and the caller’s ﬁrst turn on air. The openings are found to display one of two structures: callers’ ﬁrst turns may be designed as replies, or ‘seconds’, to the host’s introductory turn; or they may be designed as sequence-initiating, or ‘ﬁrsts’. Participants are shown to negotiate the sequential positions of turns primarily – sometimes exclusively – through displayed orientation to other participants’ prosody. Turns that are designed and treated as seconds orient prosodically to prior turns. Turns that are designed as ﬁrsts contain little or no prosodic link with previous talk. Turns that could be interpreted as seconds on lexical or action-related grounds may not be treated as such if they do not contain prosodic orientation to prior turns. The study shows that callers’ ﬁrst turns on the air are not deﬁned by their position as chronologically placed after the host’s introduction, but by their being positioned in the local sequential context as ﬁrsts or seconds. Prosody is shown to be a signaling system for participants’ negotiation over the sequential status of turns.

|Abstract=In their analysis of a corpus of classroom interactions in an inner city high school, Roth and Tobin describe how teachers and students accomplish interactional alignment by prosodically matching each other’s turns. Prosodic matching, and specific prosodic patterns are interpreted as signs of, and contributions to successful interactional outcomes and positive emotions. Lack of prosodic matching, and other specific prosodic patterns are interpreted as features of unsuccessful interactions, and negative emotions. This forum focuses on the article’s analysis of the relation between interpersonal alignment, emotion and prosody. It argues that prosodic matching, and other prosodic linking practices, play a primarily sequential role, i.e. one that displays the way in which participants place and design their turns in relation to other participants’ turns. Prosodic matching, rather than being a conversational action in itself, is argued to be an interactional practice (Schegloff 1997), which is not always employed for the accomplishment of ‘positive’, or aligning actions.

|DOI=10.1016/j.pragma.2009.09.002
|Abstract=Research in conversation analysis has shown that speech rhythm is a relevant parameter for turn-taking amongst native speakers of British English. Not only is individual participants’ speech rhythmically structured, but rhythmic patterns also continue across speaker transitions. Participants employ such rhythmic integration as an interactional resource. By rhythmically integrating next turns into prior turns they display conversational alignment with previous speakers, whereas non-integration is treated as noticeable and non-default. British English has a tendency towards stress-timing, that is, stressed syllables occur at roughly regular intervals in time, with great variation in syllable duration. This paper investigates whether cross-transitional speech rhythm also occurs when speakers of primarily syllable-timed languages, whose syllable duration is less varied, are in conversation with speakers of primarily stress-timed languages. Do speakers of syllable-timed backgrounds integrate their turns rhythmically into the stress-timed pattern? If so, how are those continuations realised? The data show that rhythmic patterns are indeed continued across speaker transitions, however, only in up to half of all turn transitions, and predominantly only for the ﬁrst stressed syllable of the turn. This suggests that incoming speakers of the syllable-timed language initially comply with the tendency towards rhythmic alignment before continuing ‘in their own time’.

|Abstract=This chapter tests the usefulness of the category intonation phrase for the analysis of natural conversation. It asks whether the intonation phrase is a relevant unit for participants, and if so, whether it is a prosodic, or indeed an interactional category. The data show that while participants do divide their speech into intonation phrase-like chunks, these chunks are not defined by intonation alone. Instead, participants draw on a variety of interactional modes in their production of speech chunks, which are defined here as building blocks for turns and Turn Constructional Units. Chunks are shown to be employed as interactional units below the turn, and potentially below the Turn Constructional Unit; therefore the term Turn Constructional Phrase is suggested.

|Abstract=This article examines the issue of using authentic speech data in an experimental research paradigm. We report exploratory studies to replicate a seminal investigation of listeners’ abilities to predict sentence completion in constructed read-aloud data. Our initial intention was to see whether the same gating instrument used on authentic talk from interactive settings would produce similar results. In the research ‘journey’ to find natural speech data and match experimental procedures, we came to ask whether the requirements of the laboratory to isolate and decontextualize talk facilitate findings that will truly illuminate interactive talk in natural settings. We suggest that the experimental paradigm struggles to engage with the multi-faceted interpretive tasks which participants engage with in actual talk. Our small-scale studies offer two key conclusions for further work: that a feature of unfolding talk derived under experimental conditions may be strongly predictive, but may only be so under these conditions; that it should not be assumed that the experimental approach can yet do justice to a basic feature of spoken discourse: interactional negotiation over utterance completion.

|Abstract=This chapter presents findings from research on conversational prosody and discusses some of their implications for teaching English pronunciation. Two main areas are discussed: the relationship between prosodic form and interactional function, particularly with respect to prosody and turn taking; and the role of prosody for interactional alignment, in particular the sequential practice of designing a turn either as responsive to prior talk or as a new beginning. One challenge for pronunciation teaching is the emerging consent amongst students of talk-in-interaction that conversational cues work together as clusters, rather than fulfilling functions individually. Moreover, the very latest studies on intonation suggest that for some interactional practices, pitch patterns play a very limited role. One of the conclusions emerging from this research is that participants in conversation make prosodic choices, not according to any context-free functions or meanings of prosodic patterns but according to the social action they are in the process of accomplishing. The chapter suggests that teaching methodologies for pronunciation take into consideration the role of prosody for implementing and coordinating social actions, for example, by developing learners’ interactional orientation to others.

|Abstract=Spoken interaction is impossible without prosody. Intonation, pitch register, tempo, rhythm, pausing, loudness and voice quality all contribute to the spontaneous negotiation process that is everyday talk. This highly accessible introduction to the prosody and analysis of everyday conversation explains basic concepts and methods of interpretation using a wealth of examples from real-life conversations. Readers are introduced to the many conversational practices prosody plays a part in through sample analyses, all of which are available to listen to as downloadable audio files on the accompanying companion website: www.palgrave.com/analysingconversation Packed with authentic examples, practical suggestions for analysis, suggestions for further reading and a helpful glossary, this clear and comprehensive guide is essential reading for students and researchers alike.

|Abstract=The majority of research on prosody in conversation to date has focused on exploring the role of individual prosodic features, such as certain types of pitch accent, pitch register or voice quality, for the accomplishment of specified social actions. From this research the picture emerges that when it comes to the implementation of specific actions at specific sequential locations conversationalists employ prosodic features systematically, but also with considerable variation, and indeed flexibility. This paper suggests a further line of enquiry, which pursues a wider, more fundamental role of prosody for interaction, and which does not focus on individual prosodic practices or features, but on participants’ collaborative use of prosody for the implementation of one of the most basic interactional decisions: whether to continue a previously established action trajectory, or whether to start a new one. The data and findings of recent research make it clear that prosody, and in fact talk-in-interaction as such, is not appropriately defined by reference to individual features, speakers, locations and actions alone, but must be approached as a resource and negotiating strategy for social interaction. Prosody, therefore, must be described according to its role for both the accomplishment, and the coordination of actions across turns and participants.

|Abstract=This chapter presents findings from research on conversational prosody and discusses some of their implications for teaching English pronunciation. Two main areas are discussed: the relationship between prosodic form and interactional function, particularly with respect to prosody and turn taking; and the role of prosody for interactional alignment, in particular the sequential practice of designing a turn either as responsive to prior talk or as a new beginning. One challenge for pronunciation teaching is the emerging consent amongst students of talk-in-interaction that conversational cues work together as clusters, rather than fulfilling functions individually. Moreover, the very latest studies on intonation suggest that for some interactional practices, pitch patterns play a very limited role. One of the conclusions emerging from this research is that participants in conversation make prosodic choices, not according to any context-free functions or meanings of prosodic patterns but according to the social action they are in the process of accomplishing. The chapter suggests that teaching methodologies for pronunciation take into consideration the role of prosody for implementing and coordinating social actions, for example, by developing learners’ interactional orientation to others.

|Abstract=This paper shows how conversationalists assemble lexical, prosodic, and sequential cues to accomplish social actions and commitment to a stance. The assemblage [süß + prosodic stylization + freestanding turn design] is used as a practice to implement positive and highly affiliative assessments of child-like agents. Participants use the same form of assessment to mitigate complaints about adult referents, and to assign non-membership to referents from different membership categories. While the assemblage in its general form remains constant, the specifics of the prosodic stylization show a considerable degree of flexibility. Consequently, the paper argues that the interactionally most relevant aspect of prosodic stylization is that it is notably different from surrounding talk, rather than how precisely it is different. The analysis shows that social actions are not accomplished or contextualized by individual cues, but by assemblages, which emerge online and have to be defined with the necessary flexibility to fit the nature of spontaneous talk.

|Abstract=Pronunciation guides for German frequently state that glottal stops must be inserted before word-initial vowels. This paper reports on a study of naturally occurring German talk in which the phonetic properties of word-initial vowels were investigated. The focus was on the beginning of new turn-constructional units by the same speaker, which was hypothesized to be a default location for glottal stop insertion. The data show that 42% of vowel-fronted TCUs do not show glottal stop insertion; instead vowels are joined directly to the final sound of previous TCUs. In contrast to previous research, speakers’ regional variety seems to play no role in the distribution of word-initial glottal stops at TCU boundaries, as a glottalization/linking distribution of roughly 60/40 is relatively consistent across speakers and conversations. The main factor affecting the contrast between glottalization and linking seems to be the management of conversational actions. Speakers make use of glottalization of TCU-initial vowels in their design of next TCUs as new actions; whereas vowel linking contributes to the design of continuing actions-in-progress. In a small number of cases, participants use linking to integrate new, socially dispreferred actions into preferred actions. The findings do not support an earlier pilot study of broadcast interaction.

|DOI=10.1080/08351813.2015.993843
|Abstract=This study shows how different phonetic productions of the same word pair perform different actions in conversation. The German words for “yes” and “but” share the same vowel at the word boundary: ja aber. Data from naturally occurring talk show that German speakers exploit this property of their language to differentiate between ja aber and jaber. The phonetic distinction co-occurs with a distinction in how actions are formatted. In ja aber turns, ja performs a separate action, often as a second pair part, providing an elicited confirming response. The action initiated by aber is typically disaffiliative and done for the first time. In contrast, jaber-fronted turns are rarely second pair parts and perform one single disaffiliative action, which is a redoing of a previously accomplished or attempted action. The frequent occurrence of jaber in the corpus suggests that the item is being used as a wordlike entity similar to a discourse marker. The findings reveal that for participants the local requirement to manage action boundaries is more relevant than linguistic word boundaries that may exist outside the interactional context. Data are in German with English translation.

|Abstract=This study interrogates the frequently made claim that mirroring behavior is directly linked to interpersonal rapport. The paper proposes a more nuanced conceptualization of the positive effect of mirroring, showing it to be underpinning not affiliation as such but instead speakers' joint commitment to a common interactional cause. The analysis of naturally occurring talk shows that sound imitation is primarily an affiliation-neutral resource that facilitates the progression of interaction. The paper argues that socially embedded mirroring behavior is more than a behavioral manifestation of the motor resonance described in social neuroscience. Mirroring as part of jointly achieved talk is one of several mechanisms for conversational participants to establish progressivity, that is, trajectories of social action, sequence and stance. The data also show that sound mirroring, when it is part of naturally occurring interaction, is not automatic, but that participants choose to mirror, or not. It is proposed that socially situated imitation is reconceptualized as facilitating social collaboration and the joint achievement of interaction more broadly, rather than empathy or rapport in a narrow sense. Such a reconceptualization of mirroring allows us to describe more accurately how humans build sociality.

|Abstract=This analysis shows how, in horse-riding lessons, riding instructors use prosody and other sound patterns to design their talk for human and equine recipients at the same time, while orienting to distinct contributions from each. Practices for doing so include nonlexical vocalizations, marked prosodic delivery, and conventionalized lexical-prosodic bundles. Parallel recipient design allows turn-holders to pursue a single activity that is to be performed jointly by the recipient pair. Parallel recipient design is shown to be distinct from alternating recipient design, to be found during multiactivity. Parallel recipient design can be delivered consecutively, with talk designed to mobilize the rider followed by talk designed to mobilize the horse; or simultaneously, with lexical items performing one action to the rider and their prosodic delivery performing another action to the horse. The data are recordings of naturally occurring horse-riding lessons, mostly in English; some data are in German, with English translations.

|Abstract=This paper shows how horse-riding instructors vocally depict, and thereby co-design and mobilize the unfolding progression of horses’ and riders’ actions through gradually escalating prosody. Escalating prosody involves the stepwise raising of a speaker’s overall pitch across a series of turn components, often accompanied by increases in overall loudness and occasionally by changes in voice quality. Escalating prosody can accompany instructed activities from beginning to end or only during certain phases of the activity. The prosodic delivery mirrors the building and subsequent sustaining of physical effort expected of the horse-rider pair. It can occur with lexical instructions to perform series of actions or with repeated directives to sustain the current activity. It can also occur with repeated praise as a successful performance unfolds, and with repeated corrections, which temporally frame moments of trouble. Prosody is shown to be a resource for co-designing the actions of others, specifically, their mobility, physical effort, and sequential progression. The data are horse-riding lessons recorded in the UK and in Germany.

|Abstract=This paper presents a study of Arabic waḷḷāhi (lit. ‘by God’) and English really when they are used interactionally as newsmarks. The literature has claimed that the role of newsmarks in conversation is to treat prior talk as news, to open up a slot for further talk, to express doubt or disbelief, and to implement requests for confirmation. A close analysis of waḷḷāhi and really shows that they do not necessarily follow the patterns described by previous research. Instead, the data suggest that newsmarks primarily contribute to the construction of prior talk as remarkable, that is, tellable and noteworthy; and that some previously described functions are epiphenomenal of this more basic property. The data are recordings of naturally occurring everyday conversations in British English and Egyptian Arabic, with English translations.

|Abstract=This study makes an original contribution to the understanding of sound patterns in interaction by investigating glottalization and linking at word boundaries in naturally occurring talk. Specifically, the study shows how speakers of British English make use of the contrast between glottalized and linked vowel-fronted TCU boundaries in multi-unit turns. Second TCUs whose initial vowel is joined to the last sound of the first TCU routinely either extend or elaborate on the social action of the first TCU. Second TCUs whose initial vowel is glottalized routinely accomplish new actions that are distinct from those accomplished by the first TCU. After giving an overview of a wider collection of cases, the analysis focuses on yeah/no responding turns.

|Abstract=This article presents the quantitative findings from a comparative study of request for confirmation (RfC) sequences in British English (BE) and American English (AE). The study is part of a large-scale cross-linguistic research project on RfCs in ten languages. RfCs put forward a proposition about which the speaker claims some knowledge but for which they seek (dis)confirmation from an informed co-participant. The article examines linguistic resources for building RfCs and their responses in the two English varieties. RfCs are analyzed with regard to their syntactic design, polarity, modulation, inference marking, connectives, question tags, and the prosodic design of confirmables and potential question tags. Responses to RfCs are analyzed with regard to response type, the use, type and position of response tokens, (non-)minimal responses in turns with a response token, response prefacing, and repeat responses. BE and AE are found to resemble each other closely in most categories. A major exception is their prosodic design, however. Specifically, the preference for the final pitch pattern of RfCs differs markedly in the two varieties: BE shows a strong preference for final falling pitch; AE shows a preference for final rising pitch. This suggests that the two varieties have routinized distinct intonation patterns for expressing epistemic (un)certainty in RfCs.

|Abstract=The study investigates horse-directed vocalizations in English and German. A corpus of
human-horse activities contains clicks, trills, and variants of /ho:/. Horse-directed vocalizations show much phonetic and prosodic variation, which makes them adjustable to local interactional contexts. The largest group are clicks (lateral, dental, bilabial), which are used to ask horses to move faster. Trills (bilabial, alveolar) optionally end in alveolar stops. Their duration, intonation, and overall pitch vary considerably. German and English speakers use trills for opposite interactional purposes (slowing down vs. speeding up). /ho:/-type vocalizations vary with regard to first consonants, vowels, final consonants, duration, and intonation. /ho:/-variants are used to calm and/or slow horses down. Unlike non-lexical vocalizations in human talk, horse-directed vocalizations have specific, conventionalized meanings.

|Abstract=This chapter tests the usefulness of the category intonation phrase for the analysis of natural conversation. It asks whether the intonation phrase is a relevant unit for participants, and if so, whether it is a prosodic, or indeed an interactional category. The data show that while participants do divide their speech into intonation phrase-like chunks, these chunks are not defined by intonation alone. Instead, participants draw on a variety of interactional modes in their production of speech chunks, which are defined here as building blocks for turns and Turn Constructional Units. Chunks are shown to be employed as interactional units below the turn, and potentially below the Turn Constructional Unit; therefore the term Turn Constructional Phrase is suggested.

|Abstract=Spoken interaction is impossible without prosody. Intonation, pitch register, tempo, rhythm, pausing, loudness and voice quality all contribute to the spontaneous negotiation process that is everyday talk. This highly accessible introduction to the prosody and analysis of everyday conversation explains basic concepts and methods of interpretation using a wealth of examples from real-life conversations. Readers are introduced to the many conversational practices prosody plays a part in through sample analyses, all of which are available to listen to as downloadable audio files on the accompanying companion website: www.palgrave.com/analysingconversation Packed with authentic examples, practical suggestions for analysis, suggestions for further reading and a helpful glossary, this clear and comprehensive guide is essential reading for students and researchers alike.

|Abstract=This analysis shows how, in horse-riding lessons, riding instructors use prosody and other sound patterns to design their talk for human and equine recipients at the same time, while orienting to distinct contributions from each. Practices for doing so include nonlexical vocalizations, marked prosodic delivery, and conventionalized lexical-prosodic bundles. Parallel recipient design allows turn-holders to pursue a single activity that is to be performed jointly by the recipient pair. Parallel recipient design is shown to be distinct from alternating recipient design, to be found during multiactivity. Parallel recipient design can be delivered consecutively, with talk designed to mobilize the rider followed by talk designed to mobilize the horse; or simultaneously, with lexical items performing one action to the rider and their prosodic delivery performing another action to the horse. The data are recordings of naturally occurring horse-riding lessons, mostly in English; some data are in German, with English translations.

|DOI=https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118346952.ch11
|Abstract=This chapter presents an overview of how pronunciation is used for discursive practices, such as turn taking, sequence organization and individual conversational actions, such as repair and reported speech. Some of the complexities surrounding a simplistic form-function notion are discussed, and the argument is made that while individual pronunciation features cannot be assigned specific discourse roles, there are broader interactional activities, such as continuing an activity or starting a new one, which are systematically accomplished through prosody. The chapter also considers implications for pronunciation teaching and learning. The appropriateness of native-like pronunciation is discussed from a discourse perspective, and it is suggested that one goal for pronunciation teaching could be to equip learners with the pronunciation skills for accomplishing discursive actions successfully and appropriately. By way of example, the role of speech rhythm for conversation is discussed in some detail.

|Abstract=This chapter presents findings from research on conversational prosody and discusses some of their implications for teaching English pronunciation. Two main areas are discussed: the relationship between prosodic form and interactional function, particularly with respect to prosody and turn taking; and the role of prosody for interactional alignment, in particular the sequential practice of designing a turn either as responsive to prior talk or as a new beginning. One challenge for pronunciation teaching is the emerging consent amongst students of talk-in-interaction that conversational cues work together as clusters, rather than fulfilling functions individually. Moreover, the very latest studies on intonation suggest that for some interactional practices, pitch patterns play a very limited role. One of the conclusions emerging from this research is that participants in conversation make prosodic choices, not according to any context-free functions or meanings of prosodic patterns but according to the social action they are in the process of accomplishing. The chapter suggests that teaching methodologies for pronunciation take into consideration the role of prosody for implementing and coordinating social actions, for example, by developing learners’ interactional orientation to others.

|Abstract=The instruction of embodied skills often involves pair-like sequences consisting of an instructor’s directive to perform an embodied action and a learner’s (attempted) bodily performance of that action. This study explores the organization of such sequences in horse-riding lessons. Whereas in most of the studied data, learners’ performances of instructed actions are accompanied by continuing instructor talk, this study focuses on those rarer occasions when instructors observe learners in silence. The data show that silent observation often occurs at the beginning of an instructional sequence and also during instructed activities that are preparatory, operational, or otherwise not under evaluation. Instructors can abandon their initial silence when local events call for verbal support, showing that learners’ embodied actions are continuously susceptible to verbal commentary. In addition to silence, instructors also use embodied conduct to demarcate instruction and compliance and to position themselves as scrutinizing observers. The data are in British English.

|Abstract=In this case study six video recorded interactions between overseas Masters students and their supervisor at a UK university are analysed. The methodological approach adopted for the case studies is Converation Analysis. It is shown that fundamental social actions, such as responding with appropriate next actions and showing sensitivity to local contingencies, are accomplished successfully by participants in spite of significant cultural and linguistic differences. The argument is made that communicative acts need not be defined or interpreted as ‘intercultural’ when cultural backgrounds or differences are not made relevant by the communicating participants themselves. The data show that cultural differences do not necessarily impact on talk, and that a focus on interactional achievements may help understand intercultural communication from a participant perspective.
