Receipt through Repetition

Abstract

One of the ways that people show they are listening is by repeating part of what the prior speaker just said. This practice allows listeners to establish recipiency in a way that is specific, providing the speaker with moment-by-moment feedback on the recipient’s understanding as well as giving a “go-ahead” signal. This paper uses Conversation Analysis (CA) to explore the interactional practice of repetition as recipiency. The data are taken from video recordings of L2 users of English in paired and small group discussions. The analysis provides suggestions for how this practice can help encourage language learning in conversation settings. 人が傾聴している証拠のひとつといえるのが相手の話を繰り返すことであろう。このような行為によって、話し手により細かくフィードバックを与えることができ、聞き手の瞬間的な理解を示す「承認」の合図になり、傾聴者がrecipiency(受容性)を確立する。本研究では会話分析を使用し、「受容としての繰返し」(receipt through repetition) を明らかにする。対象データは、英語学習者の小グループ会話のビデオ録画である。会話での繰り返しがお互いの共通理解を生み、言語学習をサポートする。
