The small number of conversation analysis studies to date suggest that repair and turn-construction practices in primary progressive aphasia are similar to those seen in post-stroke aphasia. This study investigates the collaborative aspect of these practices between people with primary progressive aphasia and their conversation partners. Method: Conversation analysis was used to investigate collaboration in repair and turn-construction practices in 10-minute video recordings of natural conversation collected from two dyads, one with logopenic and one with mixed primary progressive aphasia. Results: This study demonstrates that people with primary progressive aphasia have a range of practices available to construct their turns, and that their conversation partners collaborate to co-construct talk. Discussion: Findings demonstrate that collaboration can support interaction or lead to further interactional trouble. Collaborative practices are important targets for speech and language therapy interventions.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":"27 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This setting, which is usually taken as a dyad, is an actual triad. Method: We focus on examples taken from five speech-language therapy (SLT) openings, analyzing the resources that lead to alliances as rapport-building through the turns of talk. We connect these alliances to the configuration of the setting. Results: The analyses highlight different dyadic participant alliances within the triadic constellation: child-therapist, caregiver-therapist, therapist-child. These alliances are formed through complaints regarding the participants’ investment in the therapy. The therapists concentrate their efforts on the child, whereas the parents focus on creating rapport with the therapist. Discussion and conclusion: The balancing act of rapport-building in the therapeutic triad of SLT is complicated, since the family is not composed of equal members. Therefore, ‘ironing’ the creases of the caregiver-child-therapist into a pseudo-dyad either ignores the differences that exist between a parent and a child or does not work.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":"40 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135169067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: We show differences among the groups’ use of claims of memory problems, self-directed questions, and well-prefacing. Healthy control participants produce more talk in response to all of these, while people with MCI and AD either do not, or do so in demonstrably different ways from both HC participants and each other.

People with MCI, in contrast, display themselves as both unwilling and unable to engage with the agent’s questions as tests of memory.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing an on-screen dance activity in a foreign language, carers in this study draw on multimodal resources and shift their footings in participation frameworks to demonstrate and reformulate expectations in pursuit of responses. Method: Data were collected as part of a test pilot for a dance program designed for people with cognitive and physical challenges. The program was remotely delivered from Canada to a private, assisted living facility in Finland during the COVID-19 pandemic. Video recordings of five consecutive weekly dance classes were transcribed and analyzed using an ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EMCA) approach to multimodal interaction, looking at directive-response sequences. Results: Our preliminary results explore how co-present facilitators encouraged participation of a non-responsive participant through embodied directives in three ways: through demonstrations and reformulations in co-participation; through repetition and emphasis in response to non-compliance; and through a subsequent proposal of a change in the interactional frame. Discussion/conclusion: There are various recipient-designed ways in which care workers facilitate participation in on-screen arts-based programs, including how they address non-compliance.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":"2 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135218967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Multimodal conversation analysis (CA) was applied to examine unresponsiveness in task-focused multiparty peer interactions of an inclusive group, including one participant on the AS. Results: The results showed that it was not meaningful to analyze unresponsiveness in situations where there was no (aligning) response and all participants’ orientations revealed that a response was (not) needed. Instead, participants’ discrepant orientations to the response relevance made unresponsiveness a meaningful issue for participants to negotiate. Discussion/conclusion: The CA approach can be useful for examining unresponsiveness accurately. The combination of both the speaker and recipient(s) orientations to response relevance can be used as a conceptual tool to identify unresponsiveness when it is relevant for the participants.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135168933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate resources PWAs use to pursue talk and which assist with the production of a recognizable action.\u0000Method: We examined turns produced by four PWAs and their communication partners (CPs), where present, using conversation analysis, identifying features that do not receive a response and features promoting action ascription.\u0000Analysis: The PWAs’ semantically empty or unclear turns, turns lacking sequential context, or the CPs’ focus on their own actions led to a lack of action ascription. However, CPs do attend to PWAs’ multimodal features of interaction, and PWAs’ repetition accompanied by an upgraded gesture was shown to pursue a response. Action ascription was aided by the PWAs’ preserved use of silence as a communicative device.\u0000Discussion: When PWAs’ actions are not appropriately ascribed, their agency may be diminished. Communication partners should attend to all features of the PWA’s turns, including gesture and silence, to progress the PWA’s action, rather than their own misappropriated action. This may mean accepting a delay in progressivity while the PWA pursues an appropriate response. Through this, the PWA’s agency in interaction can be maintained, and intersubjectivity achieved.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45837039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"co-construction of pragmatic competencies in different settings","authors":"Lisa Vössing, Friederike Kern","doi":"10.1558/jircd.24423","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/jircd.24423","url":null,"abstract":"Background: A considerable body of research has concentrated on pragmatic competencies in the context of autism spectrum disorder. In contrast to experimental settings, which usually adopt deficit-oriented perspectives of autistic people’s communicative behavior, studies using a methodological approach informed by conversation analysis (CA) also highlight pragmatic abilities, and reveal the relevance of situated context and collaborative actions with co-participants in which pragmatic competencies can be observed. Building on this strand of research, this article aims to analyze and compare specific pragmatic competencies in different settings.\u0000Method: The investigation is based on video recordings of two autistic children in family and therapy settings. The analytical process is informed by CA and multimodal interaction analysis. It focuses on sequences in which atypical pragmatic behavior occurs, and specifically on the interactional uptake of the atypical behavior by the different conversational partners.\u0000Results: The analysis suggests a link between the respective interactional setting and the interactional uptake of atypical pragmatic behavior. This is shown in the case of both autistic children. The therapists’ uptakes are explicit and critically examine the children’s atypical pragmatic behavior, thereby focusing on form, whereas the family members’ uptakes are implicit, with a focus on conversational content. These two types of uptakes have different effects on the flow of ongoing conversation: only the therapists’ uptakes lead to an interruption followed by a side sequence.\u0000Discussion/conclusion: Because of the effects that interlocutors’ uptakes have on the conversational flow, the autistic children appear pragmatically more or less competent. The results indicate that pragmatic competence should not simply be seen as a personal trait, but also as a mutually accomplished, co-constructed, and context-dependent phenomenon. This interaction-centered – in contrast to person-centered – view of pragmatic competence is accompanied by a shift of perspective in the assessment of pragmatic competencies and possible interventions.","PeriodicalId":52222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42421651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
