Abstract:

Turn-taking is a fascinating feature of conversational interaction,
due to its systematic and ordered nature. However, research has so far
focused mainly on American and British conversations, with other
varieties of English receiving much less attention. This pioneering
book addresses this gap by exploring turn-taking patterns and cultural
variation in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English.  Bringing together
research from the fields of Conversation Analysis and World Englishes
for the first time, Neumaier conducts an empirical study based on
authentic audio data of interactions in these global varieties of
English, and demonstrates that conversational strategies differ
between speaker groups with different cultural backgrounds. Shedding
new light on the impact of cultural and sociolinguistic factors on
conversational patterns, it is essential reading for advanced students
and scholars interested in language, variation, and social
interaction, as well as those working in the fields of Conversation
Analysis, Interactional Linguistics, and World Englishes.

Written In: English (eng)
