Pragmatic research on ELF has investigated how ELF is used to
achieve transactional and interactional purposes of the talk in
diverse ELF contexts, using a conversation analytic approach. While
findings of existing research highlight cooperative, mutually
supportive, and consensus-oriented nature of ELF through the
analysis of verbal resources, their adversarial aspects and the
interplay of verbal and nonverbal resources are somewhat
underexplored in the field of research. This book investigates how
ELF is used to manage challenging moments in interactions by using
multimodal interactional analysis: Thereby reexamining the notion
of cooperativeness and elaborating on situational variation in ELF.
Based on a qualitative analysis of audio-visual recordings of
casual ELF conversation among friends, the book illustrates how
interactants utilize various verbal and nonverbal resources at
their disposal. They competitively take the conversational floor by
overlapping, disagree with a co-interactant, and complain about
something or someone else. Given the focus of the research, the
book is highly relevant for researchers and under-/post-graduate
students who study pragmatics, conversation analysis, and
multimodal interactional analysis.
