ABSTRACT

This study shows how multi-unit turns may be designed to facilitate incremental establishment of intersubjectivity in cases where understanding is at risk. In addressing L2 speakers, L1 speakers decompose their multi-unit turns into smaller units and present them one at a time, in “installments.” They leave a pause between each installment, thereby inviting the recipient to provide acknowledgments along the way, or alternatively, to initiate repair at an early stage. The practice may be used preemptively, to prevent potential problems of understanding from arising, or in response to an indication of an understanding problem by the recipient. The data are in Norwegian with English translation.

摘要

这项研究表明，在理解有风险的情况下，如何设计多单元转弯可以促进主体间渐进性的建立。在处理L2扬声器时，L1扬声器将它们的多单元分解成较小的单元，并在“装置”中一次显示一个。他们在每期付款之间都留有停顿，从而邀请接收者沿途提供确认，或者在早期阶段开始维修。该实践可被抢先使用，以防止出现潜在的理解问题，或响应于接收者对理解问题的指示。数据为挪威语，带英语翻译。
