This paper studies how the turn-design of a highly recurrent type of action changes over time. Based on a corpus of video-recordings of German driving lessons, we consider one type of instructions and analyze how the same instructional action is produced by the same speaker (the instructor) for the same addressee (the student) in consecutive trials of a learning task. We found that instructions become increasingly shorter, indexical and syntactically less complex; interactional sequences become more condensed and activities designed to secure mutual understanding become rarer. This study shows how larger temporal frameworks of interpersonal interactional histories which range beyond the interactional sequence impinge on the recipient-design of turns and the deployment of multimodal resources in situ.

In linguistics, but also in sociology, philosophy, psychology and education, human communication was for a long time considered to be an exchange of signs (Saussure 1959). Neither the materiality of the signs, their sounds, visual shapes, haptic qualities, etc. nor the bodily, psychophysical nature of the participants in a communicative episode mattered to the concept of communication and social interaction. Participants have been treated as sign-printing and -decoding machines, as symbol systems (Newell 1982), which can be reduced to abstract processing modules. The last years, however, have seen an increasing interest in the humanities to move away from abstract understandings of communication to a recognition of the irreducible role of the body in social interaction (Norris 2004; Stivers and Sidnell 2005; Streeck et al. 2011; Deppermann 2013a; Hazel et al. 2014; Nevile 2015). This perspective links up with an increasing recognition of the importance of temporality as a fundamental property of all meaningful conduct (Auer 2009; Streeck and Jordan 2009; Auer and Pfander 2011; Deppermann and Giinthner 2015). The current volume brings together these two lines of research. It asks how social interaction is organized as a multi-modal, multi-sensory process of bodily activities. Each chapter in this volume reveals ways in which participants in social interaction coordinate linguistic and physical action and the expressive modalities of the body (facial display, gaze, gesture, etc.) and incorporate the environment in their activities as they structure and make sense with each other from moment to moment. Although the topic of this volume articulates a current trend in research on social interaction, there have been important predecessors on whose work this enterprise can build. Using video-data, studies from the school of “context analysis” (Birdwhistell 1970; Scheflen 1972) charted the bodily matrix of kinesic-visible actions and their temporal trajectories in precise detail (for a historical account see Leeds-Hurwitz 2010). Following Scheflen’s lead, researchers such as Kendon (1970, 1990, 2004), and Erickson and Shultz (1979) investigated body motion and changing spatial relations among the interactants’ bodies as “contextualization cues” Originally published in: Deppermann, Arnulf/Streeck, Jürgen (Eds.): Time in Embodied Interaction.

在语言学以及社会学、哲学、心理学和教育学中,人类的交流在很长一段时间里被认为是符号的交换(索绪尔,1959)。符号的物质性,它们的声音,视觉形状,触觉质量等,以及交流事件中参与者的身体,心理物理性质都与交流和社会互动的概念无关。参与者被视为符号打印和解码机器,作为符号系统(Newell 1982),可以简化为抽象处理模块。然而,最近几年,人们对人文学科越来越感兴趣,从对交流的抽象理解转向对身体在社会互动中不可减少的作用的认识(Norris 2004;Stivers and Sidnell 2005;Streeck et al. 2011;Deppermann 2013;Hazel et al. 2014;Nevile 2015)。这一观点与人们日益认识到暂时性作为所有有意义行为的基本属性的重要性相联系(Auer 2009;Streeck and Jordan 2009;Auer and Pfander 2011;depermann and Giinthner 2015)。当前的卷汇集了这两条研究路线。它询问社会互动是如何被组织成一个多模态、多感官的身体活动过程的。本卷的每一章都揭示了社会互动中的参与者如何协调语言和身体行为以及身体的表达方式(面部表情、凝视、手势等),并将环境融入他们的活动中,因为他们每时每刻都在组织和理解彼此。虽然本卷的主题阐明了社会互动研究的当前趋势,但已经有了重要的前人,其工作可以建立这个企业。利用视频数据,来自“情境分析”学派的研究(Birdwhistell 1970;Scheflen(1972)绘制了有形运动的身体矩阵及其时间轨迹的精确细节(关于历史记录,请参阅Leeds-Hurwitz 2010)。继舍夫伦之后,Kendon(1970、1990、2004)、Erickson和Shultz(1979)等研究人员将身体运动和互动者身体之间不断变化的空间关系作为“情境化线索”进行了研究。最初发表于:Deppermann, Arnulf/Streeck, j rgen(主编):体现互动中的时间。多模态资源的同步性和顺序性。阿姆斯特丹[et al.]: Benjamins, 2018。1至29页。(语用学与超越新系列293)DOI: https://doi.org/10.1075/pbns.293.intro
