This course will discuss selected linguistic approaches to spoken interaction and test their applicability in the analysis of dramatic discourse. We will start out from an overview of the speech act theory, discuss some influential politeness and impoliteness theories and take a look at basic concepts in the description of conversation (e.g. turns, overlaps, etc.). Based on audio-visual material, we will also include non-verbal aspects such as intonation, facial expression and gestures in our discussion. |
