ABSTRACT

An important kind of intimacy can usefully be understood as occurring through the process I call co-constructing uniquenesses. Here, conceptual analysis explains this joint process, and close reading of a clear case displays how the process happens in conversation. The conceptual analysis appropriates two familiar constructs – stereotyping and empathizing – to help define the process by contrast. The close reading applies elements of Robert Arundale’s “conjoint co-constituting model of communicating” to illustrate how co-constructing uniquenesses is accomplished in verbal/nonverbal talk, and how it may be analyzed. Researchers, teachers, and trainers interested in intimacy are invited to consider how this construct might contribute to their work.

摘要

一种重要的亲密关系可以有效地理解为通过我称之为共同构建独特性的过程发生。在这里，概念分析解释了这个联合过程，仔细阅读一个清晰的案例可以显示这个过程是如何在对话中发生的。概念分析采用了两个熟悉的结构——刻板印象和移情——通过对比来帮助定义过程。细读应用了罗伯特·阿伦代尔的“交流的联合共构模型”的元素来说明如何在语言/非语言谈话中实现共构独特性，以及如何对其进行分析。邀请对亲密关系感兴趣的研究人员、教师和培训师考虑这种结构如何有助于他们的工作。
