Temporality in Interaction

by Deppermann / Gunthner Published by John Benjamins

Published 2015.

Time is a constitutive element of everyday interaction: all verbal interaction is produced and interpreted in time. However, only recently, research in linguistics has started to take temporality of linguistic production and reception in interaction into account by studying the real-time and on-line dimension that all spoken language inhabits.

This volume is the first systematic collection of studies exploring theoretical foundations and linguistic phenomena of temporality in interaction. It brings together researchers focusing on how temporality impinges on the production of linguistic structures in interaction and how linguistic resources are designed as to deal with exigencies and potentials of temporality of action, interaction and understanding. The volume provides new insights into (i) how basic properties of temporality in interaction work in shaping linguistic structures; (ii) the temporal design of a range of yet unexplored linguistic phenomena from various languages and (iii) the temporal coordination of linguistic structures in embodied interaction.
