This collection extends the conversation beginning with Gail
Jefferson's seminal 1996 article, "On the Poetics of Ordinary
Talk," linking the poetics of ordinary talk with the work of poets
to bring together critical perspectives on new data from
talk-in-interaction and applications of Jefferson's poetics to
literary discourse. Bringing together contributions from
Conversation Analysis and literary scholars, the book begins by
analyzing the presentation which served as the genesis for
Jefferson's article to highlight the occurrence of poetics in
institutional talk. The first section then provides an in-depth
examination of case studies from Conversation Analysis which draw
on new data from naturally occurring discourse. The second half
explores literary poetics as a form of institutional talk emerging
from the poetics of ordinary talk, offering new possibilities for
interpreting work in classics, biblical studies, folklore studies
and contemporary literature. Each chapter engages in a discussion
of Jefferson's article toward reinforcing the relationships between
the two disciplines and indicating a way forward for
interdisciplinary scholarship. The collection highlights the
enduring influence of Jefferson's poetics to our understanding of
language, both talk-in interaction and literary discourse, making
this book of particular interest to students and researchers in
Conversation Analysis, literary studies, stylistics, and
pragmatics.
Atypical Interaction presents a state-of-the-art overview of
research which uses conversation analysis to explore how
communicative impairments impact on conversation and other forms of
talk and social interaction. Although the majority of people use
spoken language unproblematically in social interaction, many
individuals have an atypical capacity for communication. The first
collection of its kind, this book examines a wide range of
conditions where the communication of children or adults is
atypical, including autism spectrum disorder, dementia, stammering,
hearing impairment, schizophrenia, dysarthria and aphasia. By
analyzing recordings of real-life interactions, the collection
highlights not only the communication difficulties and challenges
faced by atypical communicators and their interlocutors in everyday
life, but also the competences and often novel forms of
communication displayed. With fourteen empirical chapters from
leading scholars in the field and an introductory chapter which
provides a background to conversation analysis and its application
to the study of atypical interactions, the collection will be an
invaluable resource for students, practitioners such as speech and
language therapists, and researchers with an interest in human
communication, communication diversity and disorder.
