Advanced Discourse Analysis: Interactional Sociolinguistics
Dienstag, 03.12.2024
This course is designed to give students the theoretical background and hands-on training necessary for successful analysis of spoken conversation. The introductory part of the course will focus on pragmatic theory, including its origins; implicature and Gricean pragmatics; speech act theory; and facework/politeness. From this more philosophical/structural understanding of conversation we will then move into interactional sociolinguistics, which entails application and methods training. Students will read seminal works by leading scholars from a variety of approaches to the analysis of conversational discourse. Additionally, they will carry out small-scale analyses of talk-in-interaction related to theories of conversational involvement; transcription theory and practice; discourse markers; discourse topic; turn-taking; adjacency pairs; conversational repair; repetition; constructed dialogue; conversational style; framing; positioning; and identity construction. Time in class will be spent comparing and contrasting analytical approaches, identifying strengths and weaknesses of the readings, and applying aspects of these readings to transcripts within small-group workshops.
