|Abstract=This article introduces two types of choral chanting observed in correction sequences in a performance-based setting. Drawing excerpts from video-recorded taiko ensemble rehearsals, I use multimodal conversation analysis to examine how members use in correction kuchi-shōga, a semi-conventionalized repertoire of taiko-specific ideophones. I first show a typical, collaborative case and then examine a “competitive” case, where members challenge, quasi-synchronously, each other's version of kuchi-shōga. The analysis explicates (a) how kuchi-shōga is laminated with the pointing gesture in the form of choral chanting, (b) how this configuration is contingently (re)structured upon a distinctive temporal organization characterized by the rhythmic constraints of the taiko music, and finally, (c) how these temporal constraints afford the use of choral chanting as an embodied allocation device, locally tailored to particular interactional needs. Based on Goodwin's co-operative action, I argue that kuchi-shōga is members’ resource, accumulated and sedimented through repeated transformative operations on materials inherited from (absent) predecessors. These findings contribute to literature on instructional activities, and that on rhythm and temporalities in embodied interaction, reinforcing the significance of a culturally-sensitive analysis of co-operative action in performance-based settings.

|Abstract=Adopting a single case analysis, this article examines how the learning of the Japanese word burikko is occasioned in a bilingual lunch conversation through enactments that are employed for three interactional purposes: (a) renewal of laughter, (b) vocabulary explanation (VE), and (c) demonstration of understanding. The interactional analysis is enhanced by Praat to respecify the role of prosody in enactments. I first describe how burikko, the laughable of a humor sequence, becomes a learnable through a repair sequence. I then analyze a reinitiated joking sequence, where the VE recipient categorizes one of the co-participants as burikko and escalates the categorization through multimodal enactments. I argue that this jocular mockery, occasioning a demonstration of understanding, exhibits that the learning opportunity has been taken. Furthermore, I discuss how a repair work embedded within a larger humor-oriented activity may afford resources for language learning outside of the classroom, while sacrificing progressivity for intersubjectivity. The fact that the VE recipient, after intersubjectivity has been achieved, resumes the original activity of pursuing humor through the same means employed for the explanation of the target word offers interesting implications for CA-SLA and pragmatics.
