Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
As the understanding of communication in direct face-to-face interaction and its investigation in linguistics is still in its infancy, we will, after an introduction to various approaches that attempt to account for its integrative, multimodal profile, in this master seminar, adopt a decisively empirical ‘learning by doing’ method in form of small-scale case studies.
To obtain credit, participants are expected to prepare two short (group) presentations in class: first, reviewing an article from current research into conversation and discourse analysis, gesture research, and multimodal interaction analysis; second, engaging in their own (group) project on the interaction of verbal, vocal, and gestural modes of expression, students will present their initial findings and insights, using authentic multimodal data (which will then be their exploratory work for their potential term papers).
Details of organization and study material will be available by the first meeting.
Inhalt:
In this (research) seminar we will take a closer look at, and pursue an empirical stance toward, fairly recent strands of research in linguistics that focus on interactions in direct face-to-face settings and center on a decisively multimodal perspective of analysis. The various approaches engaging in such comprehensive account of meaning making acknowledge the obvious fact that an(y) act of speaking necessarily features and, in fact, integrates all the dimensions of communication available to speech.
Typically, interlocutors will functionalize the resources the acoustic and visual channels provide for – verbal, vocal, and gestural modes of expression: In interactive exchanges, speakers will systematically recruit non-verbal cues to convey their messages, and a full-fledged analysis will accordingly have to pay respect to all three dimensions of linguistic expression that continually and complexly collaborate to convey the intended message: verbal expressions, prosodic cues like pitch and intensity along with the more specific functions of intonation, and co-ordinated embodied actions such as gaze, gesture, facial exprressions, and body posture.
