Abstract
This paper analyzes how a boxing coach co-constructs, or in some cases, co-experiences ‘not-postponable’ or ‘time critical’ (Mondada, 2014b: 270) moments with the boxer. It examines a coach's uses of some phonological features of self-repetition of lexical forms, e.g. nouns, or imperatives, in her instruction toward the boxer. The analysis shows how these phonological features relate to the specificities of the rapidly moving bodies of the boxer, the opponent, or the coach, across different types of training sessions. Thus, these features help the coach accomplish ‘sensing the world’ together (Mondada, 2019: 47) and/or co-constructing it with the instructed boxer.
期刊介绍:
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
