Abstract
ABSTRACT When instructors train people in physical actions, they often demonstrate what they want the learner to do. When basketball coaches use reenactments in training sessions, we find that they organize them in two ways: (a) as a performance treating the players as passive learners (what we call “demonstration as performance”); and (b) as active co-ordinated action among the players as involved coparticipants (what we call “demonstration as enactment”). It is through this ordering of cooperative organizations that, we argue, an enactment is achieved that is maximally coherent and followable as instructions for the observing audience of learners. Data are in Australian English.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes the highest quality empirical and theoretical research bearing on language as it is used in interaction. Researchers in communication, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, linguistic anthropology and ethnography are likely to be the most active contributors, but we welcome submission of articles from the broad range of interaction researchers. Published papers will normally involve the close analysis of naturally-occurring interaction. The journal is also open to theoretical essays, and to quantitative studies where these are tied closely to the results of naturalistic observation.
