Abstract

Abstract In everyday conversations, after a story of an event or one’s experience is told, the recipient often tells a second story, similar to the previous one in terms of content and structure. A second story exhibits, rather than simply claims, its teller’s understanding of a prior story. While stories are often told with reenactments of an event, this study specifically examines the cases in which second tellers produce reenactments similar to that presented by the prior teller through reusing similar verbal and bodily conduct produced by the prior teller. Drawing on conversation analysis using a total of approximately 16 h of Japanese videotaped everyday conversation, this study explores how reenactments of similar moments contribute to the display of understanding and what they further accomplish. The findings reveal that the second teller’s reenactments similar to the one presented by the prior teller exhibit the understanding of not only the contents, but also the main focal point of the prior story while demonstrating different stances towards it. This study contributes to the body of research on the embodied display of understanding by showing how performing an operation on already shared verbal and bodily resources embedded within the ongoing sequence can exhibit multiple levels of understanding.
在第二个故事中展示理解:第二个讲述者对前一个讲述者资源的再现和重复使用
摘要在日常对话中,在讲述一个事件或经历的故事后,接受者通常会“讲述”第二个故事,在内容和结构上与前一个故事相似。第二个故事展示了,而不是简单地宣称,讲述者对前一个故事的理解。虽然故事通常是通过重演一个事件来讲述的,但本研究特别考察了第二个讲述者通过重复使用前一个讲述者产生的类似言语和身体行为来产生与前一个讲者相似的重演的情况。本研究利用总共约16小时的日语日常对话录像进行对话分析,探讨了相似时刻的重演如何有助于展示理解,以及它们能进一步实现什么。研究结果表明,第二个讲述者与前一个讲述者相似的重演不仅表现出对前一个故事内容的理解,而且表现出对其主要焦点的理解,同时表现出对故事的不同立场。这项研究通过展示对嵌入正在进行的序列中的已经共享的言语和身体资源进行操作如何表现出多个层次的理解,为理解的具体表现的研究做出了贡献。

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
