Dissertation Abstract:

How do participants display affectivity in social interaction? Based on
recordings of authentic everyday conversations and radio phone-ins, this
study offers a fine-grained analysis of how recipients of affect-laden
informings deploy sound objects, i.e. interjections (oh, ooh and ah) and
paralinguistic signals (whistle and clicks), for responsive displays of
affectivity.  Examining the use of such sound objects across a number of
interactional activities including news telling, troubles talk,
complaining, assessments and repair, the study provides evidence that the
sound pattern and sequential placement of sound objects systematically
contribute to their specific meaning-making in interaction, i.e. the
management of sequence organisation and interactional relevancies (e.g.
affiliation). Presenting an in-depth analysis of a little researched area
of language use from an interactional linguistic perspective, the book will
be of theoretical and methodological interest to an audience with a
background in linguistics, sociology and conversational studies.
