초록
In conversation, speakers' knowledge about the referents being talked about is reflected in shaping sequential structures. The purpose of research is to explore how the sequential structures are realized in shaping sequential structures in response to sharedness of the information about the referents. After reviewing prior research on information status, turn-constructional practice, and repair, this study examines the constructions in which knowledge status is of concern: (i) elliptical constructions, (ii) constructions with pronominal elements, and (iii) constructions with an overt NP with a broad or ambiguous category. This research also discusses types of sequential structures in the following two terms: (i) turn extensions and unattached elements, and (ii) repair sequences. Based on the discussion, this study deals with the motivations for the occurrence of incremental TCUs and repair sequences: (i) recipient design, (ii) invitation for uptake from the recipient, (iii) indicating problems in understanding the prior talk, and (iv) request for more specific, clear information. This study shows that these motivations are major interacting factors which are responsible for shaping turns in the processes of sharing information between speaker and hearer. In summary, this research shows an interactive nature of conversation in sharing information between speaker and hearer.
Abstract
In conversation, speakers' knowledge about the referents being talked about is reflected in shaping sequential structures. The purpose of research is to explore how the sequential structures are realized in shaping sequential structures in response to sharedness of the information about the referents. After reviewing prior research on information status, turn-constructional practice, and repair, this study examines the constructions in which knowledge status is of concern: (i) elliptical constructions, (ii) constructions with pronominal elements, and (iii) constructions with an overt NP with a broad or ambiguous category. This research also discusses types of sequential structures in the following two terms: (i) turn extensions and unattached elements, and (ii) repair sequences. Based on the discussion, this study deals with the motivations for the occurrence of incremental TCUs and repair sequences: (i) recipient design, (ii) invitation for uptake from the recipient, (iii) indicating problems in understanding the prior talk, and (iv) request for more specific, clear information. This study shows that these motivations are major interacting factors which are responsible for shaping turns in the processes of sharing information between speaker and hearer. In summary, this research shows an interactive nature of conversation in sharing information between speaker and hearer.
