Abstract
This study demonstrates how cheering together in and as a choir is an interactional accomplishment in co-present video gaming activities. The relevance of producing choral vocalizations is established by participants collectively and simultaneously orienting to particular events in video games as cheerables. Vocalizations are often individually initiated and elongated, and the joining of other persons transforms these vocalizations into collective cheering. The theatrical movements of players establish a particular relevance for participants to engage in choral vocalizations. By way of establishing, sustaining, modifying and terminating their choral vocalizations in interaction, the choirs manifest their shared treatments of the cheerables in video gaming interactions.
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.
