Sequence Facilitation: Grandparents Engineering Parent–Child Interactions in Video Calls
ABSTRACT Completing a sequence of actions is a basic problem of social organization for participants. When a first pair-part is addressed to a not yet fully competent member, such as a young child, a third party can facilitate the completion of the sequence through diverse linguistic, embodied, and material practices. In this article, we examine such sequence facilitation in a perspicuous setting: grandparent-mediated video calls between migrant parents and their left-behind children in China. The analysis shows that the practices of sequence facilitation can have a retrospective or prospective orientation and involve not only linguistic practices, such as repeating the parent’s first pair-part or formulating its action, but also embodied and material practices, such as positioning the camera or physically animating the child’s body. The results shed light on the organization of adjacency pairs in adult–child interactions and the embodied and material circumstances of their production in video-mediated communication. The data were in the Chinese dialects of Sichuan and Guizhou.
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.
