Subject:  Pragmatics & Discourse: Studies in Interactional Linguistics

John Benjamins Publishing announces a new work:

Studies in Interactional Linguistics
Margret SELTING (Universität Potsdam) and Elizabeth
COUPER-KUHLEN (University of Konstanz) (eds.)

Studies in Discourse and Grammar 10
2001. viii, 438 pp.  Hardcover
US & Canada: 1 58811 097 4 / USD 109.00
Rest of world: 90 272 2620 2 / EUR 120.00

Current interactional linguistic research appears to be crystallizing
around systematic themes, which are all represented in this collection
of papers. In the first section, where the relation between language
and interaction is viewed from the perspective of language structure,
several articles deal with the potential of a single structure for
both turn and sequence construction, revealing a play-off between
planned and occasioned syntax with potentially far-reaching
consequences for language development.  Other articles deal with
lexical expressions as resources for the conduct of interaction,
showing how they are heavily dependent on turn position and sequential
context for their meaning potential. In the second section, with a
view from the perspective of the interactional order, a systematic
focus of interest lies on three different conversational tasks:
projecting turn and turn-unit completion, starting up turns with
'non-beginnings' and self-repairing. The cross-linguistic studies here
all agree that common interactional tasks may well be carried out by
quite different linguistic practices and that these practices are
dependent to a certain extent on language features which are
typologically distinct.
