This talk presents Conversation Analytic work into a collection of interrelated interactional phenomena discovered in broadcast talk. We focus firstly on question design, exploring a novel practice that news interviewers adopt to simultaneously block potential responses an interviewee may produce, while also talking aspects of the broadcast talk social institution into being (e.g., legal constraints or social norms) prior to issuing a question. Our attention then turns to response design, where we explore a puzzling phenomenon involving interviewees issuing two contrastive responses to a question. Here, we show that the choice of response design enables interviewees to display alternate ways they have heard the question which producing a single response cannot achieve. | This talk presents Conversation Analytic work into a collection of interrelated interactional phenomena discovered in broadcast talk.

Abstract This talk presents Conversation Analytic work into a collection of interrelated interactional phenomena discovered in broadcast talk. We focus firstly on question design, exploring a novel practice that news interviewers adopt to simultaneously block potential responses an interviewee may produce, while also talking aspects of the broadcast talk social institution into being (e.g., legal constraints or social norms) prior to issuing a question. Our attention then turns to response design, where we explore a puzzling phenomenon involving interviewees issuing two contrastive responses to a question. Here, we show that the choice of response design enables interviewees to display alternate ways they have heard the question which producing a single response cannot achieve. The presentation demonstrates the ubiquity of question and response design as an integral resource for news interviewers and interviewees to ‘do’ aspects of their job while managing context-specific concerns and constraints they face because the interaction takes place for an overhearing audience.
