Abstract:

Deborah Schiffrin looks at two important tasks of language
-presenting 'who' we are talking about (the referent) and 'what happened' to them
(their actions and attributes) in a narrative
-and explores how this presentation alters in relation to emergent forms
and meanings. 
Drawing on examples from both face-to-face talk and public discourse, she
analyzes a variety of repairs, reformulations of referents, and retellings
of narratives, ranging from word-level repairs within a single
turn-at-talk, to life story narratives told years apart. 



1. Variation; 
2. Problematic referrals; 
3. Anticipating referrals; 
4. Reactive and proactive prototypes; 
5. Referring sequences; 
6. Reframing experience; 
7. Retelling a story; 
8. Who did what (again)?; 
9. Redoing and replaying.
