What is Prosody in Conversation: Interactional Studies (Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics, Series Number 12) about?
The essays in this volume are all analyses of prosody - primarily intonation and rhythm - and the role it plays in everyday conversation. Prosody emerges as a strategy deployed by interactants in the management of turn-taking and floor-holding; in the negotiation of conversational activities such as repair, assessments, announcements, reproaches and news receipts; and in the keying of the tone or modality of interactional sequences. The material studied is taken not from constructed laboratory data but from genuine English, German and Italian conversations.
