Sprachliche Akkommodation in onkologischen Therapieplanungsgesprächen
Abstract Accommdation is ubiquitous in interaction. Depending on the situation, accommodation can be successful or it can fail, either intentionally or unintentionally, leading to under-accommodation, over-accommodation or contra-accommodation. Accommodation plays a vital role in interactional settings, especially in doctor-patient-communication, because accommodation is closely linked to the management of understanding, establishment of shared knowledge and building of trust. It is this interactional work of mutual adaption that this article is about. Using examples from a corpus of oncology consultations between doctors and patients in various oncology departments of a hospital, it is shown how doctors and patients accommodate both in a sequentially and temporally structured way or – only rarely – counter-, over- or underaccommodate.
期刊介绍:
The Zeitschrift für Angewandte Linguistik (ZfAL) is the official publication of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Linguistik (GAL) [Society for Applied Linguistics]. It is one of the most important German journals in this field and appears biannually. ZfAL seeks to represent the entire field of applied linguistics and to give impulses for the academic discourse in all of its subdisciplines (e.g. phonetics and speech science, lexicography, grammar and grammar theory, text linguistics and stylistics, discourse studies, media communication, specialized communication, sociolinguistics, language contact and multilingualism, intercultural communication and multilingual discourses, translation/interpretation studies, language didactics, media didactics and media competence, computer linguistics, among others). The emphasis of applied linguistics is on the transfer of linguistic methods and insights to the professional practice of those whose work concerns language, language use and communication.
