Abstract

We examine the activity of securing the attention of a prospective interlocutor by means of a summons-answer sequence when the summoned party is walking away from the summoner. We focus on two forms of first-name summonses. Calling-out summonses are produced when the coparticipants are at a significant distance from each other and the summoner remains stationary. Halting summonses are produced when the summoner is moving towards the summoned party and is about to reach them. The data are video recordings of hospital staff corridor interactions oriented towards recruiting a coworker for a practical task.

“呼叫”和“暂停”召唤：引起正在移动的同事的注意

我们研究了当被召唤方离开召唤者时，通过召唤-回答序列来确保潜在对话者注意的活动。我们关注两种形式的直呼其名的传票。当参与者彼此之间距离相当远，而召唤者保持静止时，就会发出召唤召唤。停止召唤是在召唤者向被召唤者移动并接近他们时产生的。这些数据是医院员工走廊互动的视频记录，旨在为一项实际任务招募同事。

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.
