Abstract

This study examines how performed depictions (Clark, 2016) animate and mobilize bodily force in enskillment. Analysis of 15 h of videotaped interaction at the potter's wheel in Japan illustrates how depictions formed through the use of touch, gestures, and onomatopoeia orient novice attention to aspects of force (e.g., source, path, intensity). The sensei's depictions can serve to initiate instruction on specific skill components, to prompt the novice's work, and to synchronize guidance with the novice's efforts—allowing forces to be analogously co-experienced (Nishizaka, 2017). Across trajectories of action, depictions resonate with earlier instantiations, but are redesigned to emphasize dimensions of force most relevant to the instructional needs of the moment. This study contributes to our understanding of action formation and ascription by illustrating how multimodal resources and the depictions they form (re)configure embodied realizations of force.

描绘陶工轮子上的力量

本研究探讨了表演描绘（Clark, 2016）如何在训练中激发和调动身体力量。对日本陶工转盘上15小时的互动录像的分析说明了通过使用触摸、手势和拟声法形成的描述如何使新手注意到力的各个方面（例如，来源、路径、强度）。老师的描述可以用于启动特定技能组件的指导，提示新手的工作，并将指导与新手的努力同步-允许类似的共同体验力量（Nishizaka, 2017）。在行动的轨迹中，描述与早期的实例产生共鸣，但重新设计以强调与当前教学需求最相关的力量维度。本研究通过说明多模态资源及其描述如何形成（重新）配置力量的具体化实现，有助于我们理解行动的形成和归属。

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.
