ABSTRACT

This article examines speakers’ use of French chais pas (“dunno”) when they find that their sequence-initial turn has not been responded to by their recipient (roughly: Speaker A: Maybe they’re doing a master’s degree; Speaker B: [no response]; Speaker A: Dunno). Two interactional workings are documented in this precise sequential location: Speakers use chais pas either for withdrawing their just-produced sequence-initial action, thereby canceling the relevance of a response or, on the contrary, for pursuing response while relaxing the preference for a precise type of response. Collection-based analysis shows that these uses differ in their embodied delivery, implementing distinct interactional workings with distinct sequential consequentialities. The findings add to our understanding of how grammar and the body interface in the course of the real-time production of turns and actions and provide evidence for the online malleability of action projection. Data are in French with English translations.

摘要

本文探讨扬声器的使用法语CHAIS PAS（‘不知道’），当他们发现自己的序列初始导并没有被他们的收件人回应（大致为：喇叭答：也许他们正在做一个硕士学位;扬声器B： [无回应]；发言人A：Dunno）。在这种精确的顺序位置上记录了两个交互工作：演讲者使用chais pas或者是为了撤消其刚产生的序列初始动作，从而取消响应的相关性，或者相反，是在追求响应的同时放松对精确响应类型的偏爱。基于集合的分析表明，这些用法的具体实现方式有所不同，实现了具有不同顺序后果的不同交互工作。这些发现增加了我们对语法和身体在实时生成转弯和动作过程中如何交互的理解，并为动作投影的在线延展性提供了证据。数据为法文，并提供英文翻译。
