Abstract:

This monograph presents analyses of filled and unfilled pauses, cut-offs,
repair, discourse markers and other phenomena often referred to as
disfluencies in the context of advanced language learners' PowerPoint
presentations. It adopts a multimodal perspective to demonstrate the functions
of these elements in interaction. Paired with gaze shifts, pointing gestures
and posture shifts, they act as facilitators of joint visual orientation,
mutual understanding, and accountable actions. Therefore, this volume suggests
the name "cofluency" to reflect their potential functionality. Cofluencies are
essential elements of "multimodal" "chunks" and "multimodal" "patterns", and
these are building blocks of a "multimodal turn-taking" mechanism for
presentations. These concepts are illustrated and discussed based on excerpts
from naturally occurring classroom data.
