Abstract

We examined sounds used as attention-getting devices (AGDs) from videotapes of interspecies interactions between familiar and unfamiliar humans (n = 24) and dogs (n = 24) in which humans invited the dog to play. Coders coded nonverbal AGDs and one verbal AGD—calling the dog's name—from all videotapes, as well as whether or not dogs were attending to and playing with the human before and after the AGDs. Humans more often used AGDs when dogs were not attending than attending. Dogs tended not to attend or play following AGDs. When dogs changed attention before to after an AGD, they were more likely to change from not attending to attending, rather than the reverse.

请看着我！狗-人游戏中的人类听觉注意力获取装置

我们研究了来自物种间互动录像的声音，这些录像记录了熟悉和不熟悉的人（n = 24）和狗（n = 24）之间的互动，其中人类邀请狗玩耍。编码人员从所有录像带中编码非语言的agd和一个语言的agd——叫狗的名字，以及狗在agd之前和之后是否照顾人类并与人类玩耍。当狗不在场时，人类更常使用agd。在agd之后，狗往往不参加或玩耍。当狗在AGD之前和之后改变注意力时，它们更有可能从不专心到专心，而不是相反。

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.
