Abstract
This paper examines the coordination of vision when formulating place in driver training. Specifically, the study examines the visual practices involved when jointly establishing where to change direction. First, it shows how visual availabilities are exploited in establishing the place for the instructed driving action, and second, how verbal and embodied instructions may be adjusted to new visualities as movement in space ongoingly change the visual landscape. In conclusion, place formulations are questions that seek to establish a mutual reference point. By showing how the parties secure joint visual access to a landmark and how instructions are reflexively related to a changing visual environment, the study highlights the role of shared perception for giving and making sense of directions.
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.
