Transitions as a Series of Sequences: Implications in Testing for and Diagnosing Autism

Adam Talkington, University of Wisconsin–Madison, United States

Douglas W. Maynardl, University of Wisconsin–Madison, United States

Abstract Children who receive a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are said to have characteristic difficulty with transitions. However, testing that informs ASD diagnosis overlooks children’s conduct during transitions between subtasks of the test. In this article, we describe and analyze the sequential organization of such transitions. First, we show that transitions come as an organized series of sequences, which we call the Transitional Activity Series (TAS). We then show how the TAS is a contingent accomplishment with a structure that clinician and child adapt to emergent troubles in co-orientation. Lastly, we analyze how a particular child’s “rigid and repetitive behaviors,” a criterion of ASD diagnosis linked to transitional difficulty, may work to facilitate, rather than upend, transitions between discrete testing tasks. Data in American English.

Pursuing Common Ground: Nondisaffiliative Rhetorical Questions in Mandarin Conversations

Wei Wang, University of Houston, United States

Abstract Rhetorical questions have been regularly observed to implement disaffiliative actions in conversations such as challenging, complaining, or retorting. This article, however, reports on nondisaffiliative uses of rhetorical questions based on a particular structure in Mandarin, bushi … ma, which can serve as a conventional question, a disaffiliative rhetorical question, or a nondisaffiliative rhetorical question. Although much less studied, nondisaffiliative uses are by far more frequent in conversations. Integrating discourse-functional linguistics and conversation analysis, this study argues that nondisaffiliative bushi … ma rhetorical questions work to pursue common ground so as to move the activity-in-progress forward. Moreover, it examines the sequential contexts in which they are recurrently produced and identifies the interactional clues—epistemic, sequential, prosodic—that make these rhetorical questions recognizable as seeking common ground. This article contributes to our understanding of the rhetorical question as a grammatical device that maximizes intersubjectivity in conversation, further confirming the mutual influence between grammar and social interaction. Data are in Mandarin Chinese with English translation.

What Do Newsmark-Type Responses Invite? The Response Space After German echt

Alexandra Gubina,  Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS), Germany

Emma Betz, University of Waterloo, Canada

Abstract This conversation analytic study examines responsive echt (“really”), which is commonly associated with “newsmarks,” in co-present German interaction. Across uses, echt-turns are a practice for topicalizing, however briefly, something in another participant’s just-prior turn. But this topicalization shapes the response space in systematically different ways: Echt-turns can be taken to (a) invite simple reconfirmation, (b) invite topical elaboration, or (c) solicit an account either to reconcile diverging expectations or to manage problems in acceptability. We demonstrate how both the design of echt-turns and participants’ epistemic positioning matter to how echt-turns are treated and shape interactional trajectories. By using the notion of “inviting” a next action, we highlight the importance of conceptualizing response relevance after second-position actions, and specifically after “newsmark-type” responses, as a gradient. Data are taken from everyday and institutional interaction and presented in German with English translations.

Timing and Prosody of Lexical Repetition: How Repeated Instructions Assist Visually Impaired Athletes’ Navigation in Sport Climbing

Monica Simone, University of Bologna, Italy

Renata Galatolo, University of Bologna, Italy

Abstract How can lexical repetition help in guiding someone to do something? We take the example of sports climbing. Climbing demands complex bodily movements to reach holds and propel the body upwards. It is harder for visually impaired athletes, since they cannot see in advance where holds are located, so guides help them. There is a great deal of interplay between the (a) affordances of the climbing wall; (b) the guides’ understanding of what the climbers are touching; and (c) the formatting, timing, and delivery of their instructions. We find that guides use carefully timed and prosodically calibrated lexical repetition (for example, up up up!) to adjust both the duration and direction of the climbers’ ongoing movements and to make sure that they get to their planned holds. Data are in Italian with English translation.

期刊简介

Research on Language and Social Interaction publishes the highest quality empirical and theoretical research bearing on  language as it is used in interaction. Researchers in communication, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, linguistic anthropology, and ethnography are likely to be the most active contributors, but we welcome submission of articles from the broad range of interaction researchers.

《语言与社会互动研究》出版高质量关于互动使用语言的实证和理论研究。主要研究领域为交际、语篇分析、会话分析、人类语言学和民族学，但也欢迎来自更广泛的关于互动的研究者投稿。

Published papers will normally involve the close analysis of naturally-occurring interaction. The journal is also open to theoretical essays and to quantitative studies where these are tied closely to the results of naturalistic observation. 

本刊文章通常涉及自然发生的交际互动分析。本刊也同样欢迎与自然观察密切相关的定性和定量研究。
