Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.

The present study uses conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis to examine a series of conversation analytic data sessions taking place at a Japanese university. The data sessions were self-organized research meetings at which a group of master's and doctoral students at the university came together to perform joint analysis of segments of interactional data being used in their respective research. The objective of the present study is to investigate the ways in which several of the core notions of the communities of practice (CoP) framework, that is, practice, community, shared repertoire, identity, and learning as a transformation of identity within a community of practice, interface with empirical descriptions of the interactional and discursive practices of the participants as they work to accomplish their activities in a mutually recognizable manner. In order to accomplish this objective, this study first provides a comprehensive description of the various activity phases accomplished and organized by the participants at their meetings, and the ways in which they treat the final activity of doing group data analysis as being their culminating and main practice. Second, the analyses show how the participants use certain terminology during their participation in doing data analysis, and how such terminology use is implicated in their co-constitution of their group as a community, and in working up and managing identities within that community. The participants' interactional management of identity across several series of interactional moments is also examined, and the ways in which shifts or changes in identity are made publicly visible and mutually recognizable in and through displays of changes in participatory behavior in using terminology during participation in doing data analysis are described. Through providing a detailed description of the actual interactional practices deployed by the participants during their participation in doing data analysis, the present study works to respecify, in interactional terms, the notions of practice, community, shared repertoire, identity, and learning as identity transformation. It is hoped that the present study can provide a model of engagement through respecification for subsequent conversation analytic research seeking to engage exogenous theoretical frameworks such as CoP.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

This study investigates the ways in which Korean interpersonal modal endings – canh-and – ketun are used and developed as interactional resources by L2 speakers. Using the methodology of conversation analysis, this study not only examines how speakers employ – canh-and – ketun in the formation of an action, but also compares the (non) use of these endings by L2 speakers at different proficiency levels. By taking this combined approach to the use and the development of grammatical resources by L2 speakers, this dissertation aims to (1) investigate the ways in which L2 speakers use – canh-and – ketun to accomplish certain social actions, such as giving accounts or disagreeing, by displaying relevant knowledge states and (2) illustrate the stages of L2 speakers' development that correlate to interactional competence in the use of these linguistic resources. The data of the current study comes from approximately 240 hours of video-recorded classroom interactions in a Korean as a second language context. Focusing on three different sequential environments recurrently associated with opportunities to use – canh-and – ketun to accomplish particular actions, this study presents detailed descriptions of how participants' use and nonuse of these forms work as resources for dealing with varied epistemic access to proposed information in talk-in-interaction. By adopting a cross-sectional design for comparison, this study also shows developmental patterns in the use of – canh-and – ketun by L2 speakers of Korean. Close scrutiny of the use and nonuse of these resources reveals whether and to what extent their interactional use by L2 speakers of different proficiency levels approaches that of L1 speakers. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of Korean interpersonal modal endings in terms of the management and distribution of information as expressed through speakers' actions. This study also contributes to the growing body of research that takes a CA approach to the development of interactional competence by L2 speakers. It is hoped that this study both yields insights into how language use can be fully understood by adding the factors of management of information, and promotes CA approach to research on Korean L2 interaction.

▼ The primary purpose of this study was to explore conversational repair strategies employed by elementary level ESL students in their classroom. This study investigated repair strategies that were employed by ESL students and determined if there were differences in the usage of repair strategies by class types and grade levels. This study examined how elementary ESL students? repair strategies dealt with communication breakdown in their ESL classroom from a conversation analysis perspective. The data were collected from five participants who were in two different types of ESL classes: (1) instruction centered class; and (2) language related game-playing class. In order to investigate the variable of grade levels, first and second grade students? ESL class and third and fourth grade students? tutoring class were chosen. Twenty-four class hours were observed with a video camera. The data were transcribed following the transcription conventions of conversation analysis. The results derived from the study were following; 1. In this study the elementary ESL students used nine types of repair strategies. They were: 1) unspecified, 2) interrogatives, 3) (partial) repeat, 4) partial repeat plus question word, 5) understanding check, 6) requests for repetition, 7) request for definition, translation or explanation, 8) correction, and 9) nonverbal strategies. The elementary ESL students used understanding check and partial repeat more frequently. 2. The findings indicated that both class types and grade levels influenced the types and distribution of the students? repair strategies. 3. Instruction class produced more amounts of conversational repair than game-playing class. However, in both types of classes, first/second grade students employed understanding check the most frequently, and third/fourth grade students partial repeat the most. 4. In the first/second grade students? repair practices, understanding check was observed in the teacher?s direction. In the third/fourth grade students? repair practices, however, understanding check was observed in the content of instruction. Request for repetition and request definition, translation, or explanation were not observed in the first/second grade students? class but used in the third/fourth grade students? class. 5. Students? decisions on the types and frequency of their repair strategies were influenced by their familiarity with the native speakers. Advisors/Committee Members: Larke, Patricia J.

▼ This three-article dissertation study examines one-on-one conversations between Japanese students of English and American English-speaking instructors in a semi-institutional setting. These students, who were in the U.S. for one month on a short-term study abroad program, engaged in weekly conversations with instructors as part of an ESL center's Student Help Hours Program. The SHH is a conversation program held in the student lounge, and it is designed to make trained native speakers available to answer questions about homework and hold discussions on language, culture, and various other topics. Specifically, this study combines the frameworks of Conversation Analysis (CA) and scaffolding theory in conjunction with student surveys to shed light on students' strategies to negotiate for meaning (NfM), instructors’ focus on form (FonF), and overall perceptions of program efficacy. The aim of the first article is to understand how low-intermediate to intermediate level Japanese students use confirmation checks, clarification requests, and comprehension checks, known as 3C, to successfully initiate repair on semantic, phonetic, and morphosyntactic trouble sources in conversation. A critical aspect of this analysis is the paralinguistic features students use to first identify the existence of trouble and the role of nonverbal behavior and gaze as they impact repair initiation. The second article explores how NS instructors of American English use self- and other-modification in addition to initiation, response, feedback/evaluation (IRF/E) to scaffold students on gaps and holes in their understanding of English. While three-turn sequences such as IRF/E and other predetermined instructional sequences have been criticized as inauthentic (Hall, 1995; Ohta, 1995; Kasper, 2001), my research shows higher incidences of reduced forms used in the context of semi-casual conversation. Two-turn, initiation-response (IR-only) sequences as well as self- and other-modifications of vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar were used as more subtle instructional techniques. These data reflect persisting orientations to institutional roles as participants engage in discussions of repair, but they also show the relevance of IR and IRF/E techniques to SLA via modified output. The third article uses a combination of student responses on exit surveys and conversational excerpts to evaluate the efficacy of the SHH program. It reveals mainly positive conceptions of the program and makes recommendations for improvements. The findings of this research provide a complete picture of the complex relationship between student, instructor, and institution. It has implications for second language acquisition (SLA), pedagogy, and program administration.

This dissertation employs the methods of Conversation Analysis to examine a collection of more than 30 hours of naturally-occurring video-recordings of families with young children. In building upon prior research regarding family communication and conversation analysis, this dissertation furthers our understanding of three communication practices that are recurrent in everyday family life: recruiting, updating, and monitoring object identification. First, I analyze the activity of recruiting, finding that wanna-format recruiting is more versatile than let’s-format recuiting. Let’s-format recruiting occurs only when the interactants are already engaged in an activity together, whereas wanna-format recruiting can occur then and when the interactants are not engaged together in an activity. Second, I examine how updating comes about in family interactions. I show how children produce updates in ways that are locally occasioned and how parents solicit updates from their children. If a child indicates some difficulty in responding to a solicited update, parents can work to scaffold subsequent update solicitations. Third, I examine how apposite object identification becomes relevant in family interactions. I examine parent and child monitoring of apposite object identification in reference to objects/items. Findings indicate that there is an ongoing monitoring of object identification in these family interactions, and that both parents and young children exploit this pervasive monitoring of apposite object identification to accomplish other actions. Overall, this dissertation has broader implications for our understanding of family communication, children’s interactional sophistication, and conversation analytic research. Future work could build on the findings presented in this dissertation in examining young children’s exploitation of ongoing courses of action, as well as work to provide practical implications for families with young children.

▼ This thesis is an investigation into laughter in psychotherapeutic interactions. Conversation analysis was the method used to analyse laughter practices by client and therapist that aid in the business of psychotherapy. Analysing naturally occurring talk is important as it reveals how actions are accomplished, as some past studies on laughter in psychotherapy rely on anecdotal evidence and categorical analysis. Additionally, past psychological literature on laughter can view the phenomenon of laughter as random, and as a by-product of humour. An assumption of conversation analysis is the view of talk being systematic and organised. There is no detail too small that it does not contribute to an interaction (Jefferson, 1985). With this viewpoint in mind conversation analysts have revealed laughter to be an orderly phenomenon that is capable of other actions in talk besides appreciating humour. However, there is a lack of conversation analytical work in laughter during therapy; a gap this thesis sought to address. In particular there were two research questions. If laughter does not have the sole role of appreciating humour, what can it do in psychotherapy? Additionally, past studies in psychotherapy have linked laughter to affiliation in therapy sessions, but do not illustrate the specific sequence of how rapport is achieved in the interaction itself. Psychotherapy can be known as the „talking cure‟ (Perakyla, Antaki, Vehvilainen, & Leudar, 2008), thus, the second question is how does laughter display affiliation in therapeutic talk? Using the fundamental literature of conversation analysis there were two findings regarding laughter in psychotherapy found in this thesis. Firstly, clients would laugh responsively to an action of therapeutic import, the laughter functioned as a marker of dis-preference and an invitation for the therapist to laugh. The therapist would dis-attend the client‟s laughter in order to prompt talk which progressed the therapy from the client. Secondly, therapist could affiliate with the client by display a shared stance towards a matter spoken of by the client. During or after these displays the therapist invited laughter from the client so that the two could laugh together in a further display of shared emotional alignment. These results expanded conversation analytical work on laughter regarding laughter invitations (Jefferson, 1979) and work on psychotherapeutic interactions regarding the prompting of talk (Muntigl, & Hadic Zabala, 2008). The findings also provide empirical evidence for how therapists affiliate with their clients using laughter at the micro-analytical level. The findings of this thesis contribute to psychological, conversation analytical, and psychotherapeutic knowledge on laughter. Advisors/Committee Members: Weatherall, Ann.

▼ This thesis presents a conceptual and methodological approach to researching preferences for political conversation. The thesis contends that although real-world political discussion is not deliberative, insofar as it fails to satisfy the rigorous requirements deliberative theorists have laid out, the lack of empirical evidence is not cause to reject deliberation as a viable political theory. To connect the theoretical and empirical, this thesis presents a “quasi-deliberation” framework. Quasi-deliberation, for the purpose of this thesis, is the state of political discourse shaped by the choices made when ideal deliberative qualities conflict in the real world. Quasi-deliberation suggests that the differences between the real world and the theoretical are described by preferences regarding different qualities of political conversation. These qualities, drawn from the deliberation literature (Moy & Gastil, 2006) are “dominance during political conversation,” “clarity” of opinion expression, use of “reason, logic, and evidence,” and “understanding of other conversants' views” (p. 448). The thesis tests the exploratory supposition that these choices are predictable outcomes of antecedent political characteristics of respondents, using a nationwide online survey instrument distributed to the non-random membership of a website. The characteristics measured in this thesis are culturally-informed worldview (Kahan, Slovic, Braman, & Gastil, 2006), attributes of personal discursive networks (Moy & Gastil, 2006), and political information efficacy (Kaid, McKinney, & Tedesco, 2007). These three sets of measures are used as independent variables to describe the unique, discursively relevant characteristics of the respondent. Each is then tested as a predictor of the relative priorities ascribed to each deliberative quality. Saaty’s (1980) Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to create the dependent priority ranking variables. Respondents provide a preference for each quality vis-à-vis each other, producing a preference matrix, from which a single priority vector is derived.

▼ PROBLEM: Traditional treatment approaches in aphasia therapy focus on remediation of a specific linguistic impairment or cognitive process and restoration of language functions. These approaches expect that skills will generalize to everyday communication. However, preliminary findings do not present conclusive evidence of such generalization (Savage, Donovan, & Hoffman, 2014). Recently, there has been a growing interest in treatments that adhere to the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA) (LPAA Project Group, 2008). Many of these treatments intervene at the conversational level and focus on changing behaviors within natural conversation rather than expecting linguistic skills to generalize to everyday communication (Simmons-Mackie, Savage, & Worrall, 2014). Most conversation-based therapies train a communication partner or the PWA and a communication partner together as a dyad. Very few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of conversation-based therapy for a PWA independent of a communication partner. Many PWAs do not have consistent communication partners and most aphasia therapy is conducted in one-on-one therapy sessions with the PWA (Simmons-Mackie, Savage, & Worrall, 2014). Therefore, the following study was completed to evaluate the effects of conversation training with a PWA independent of partner training. PROCEDURE: A single-subject research design was used to determine the effect of independent conversation training with a PWA on language, cognitive-linguistic skills, functional communication, quality of life, support and strain in the spousal relationship, and communicative effectiveness. Outcomes following independent conversation training were compared to outcomes following partner training. The PWA in the present study was a 69-year-old male stroke survivor with moderate expressive and receptive aphasia. The PWA’s spouse was also included in the study and had received no prior partner training. Treatment block 1 consisted of conversation training with the PWA independent of partner training. In treatment block 2, this conversation training was withdrawn and the PWA’s spouse received partner training. Standardized and criterion-referenced assessments were administered prior to and following each block of treatment. Treatment outcomes were analyzed using non-parametric statistics including two-proportions tests and paired-samples t-tests and subjective analyses including effect size changes and discourse analyses as detailed by Nicholas and Brookshire (1993). FINDINGS: Conversation training with a PWA independent of partner training resulted in significant gains in language, memory, functional communication skills, quality of life, and communicative effectiveness in discourse. Declines were seen in cognitive skills, quality of life, and language functions when conversation training with the PWA was withdrawn and partner training was provided to the PWA’s spouse, suggesting partner training alone is not effective in maintaining or increasing gains.

▼ Although the term complaining represents an ostensibly straightforward behaviour, it has come to obtain a range of meanings within academic and commercial works which have directed research toward understanding the behaviour and attempting to improve the way that it is undertaken, particularly in commercial environments where complaint handling constitutes an important field of commercial practice for many firms. It is proposed in this thesis that such variation in the way that complaining is approached is problematic, as it is treated ways that frequently underemphasise the fundamental point that it is overwhelmingly conducted in interpersonal interactions using language as its primary vehicle (Edwards, 2005). This thesis offers an approach to complaint handling and complaining that eschews such approaches in favour of an empirically grounded account based on the principles of ethnographic analysis, conversation analysis, and discursive psychology. Through investigating the complaint handling procedures as practiced by employees in an institution expressly dedicated to the receipt of complaints and enquiries from customers by employing participant observation and interviews, an account of complaint handling is developed that identifies how a range of forces works to impact on the way that it is performed in an institutional environment, furnishing complaint handling with a level of detail not currently offered in managerial literature dedicated to developing the practice. Next, two research chapters present the investigation of two different aspects of complaint interactions themselves. The first of these focuses on call openings as customers and institutional agents work to align themselves to the project of the call, demonstrating varying orientations to institutional complaining as callers demonstrate their own procedures for complaining (and enquiring) which may not match the institutional prerogatives and procedures of the agents receiving the calls. The final research chapter offers an analysis of a recurrent practice in the complaint calls themselves: callers’ use of self-disclosure in the service of rendering matters as problematic and warranting complaint. This finding adds to existing discursive understandings of how complaining is done. Taken together the findings offer an alternative approach to investigating complaint handling by treating it as an indexical practice bound to local demands. This offers a detailed depiction of complaint handling and complaining ‘in situ’ that may offer researchers and commercial entities a new approach to investigating how it is that complaining is done and how, in commercial or institutional contexts, complaint handling may be improved through the methods employed in the thesis.

▼ This study examines political accountability within the context of ministerial accountability towards the Scottish parliamentary committees. A review of the existing literature on accountability identified striking discrepancies between different disciplinary perspectives. In particular, political science research (e.g. Mayer, 1999) focuses on describing the structural mechanisms available for constraining the behaviour of those being made accountable. This literature includes research on ministerial accountability (e.g. Flinders, 1991), although largely focusing on accountability towards the parliamentary Chamber rather than the committees. By contrast, the psychological literature does not focus on accountability, but rather on developing a classification of accounts (e.g. Scott and Lyman, 1968) doing the kind of work that is examined in political science under ‘accountability’ (i.e. providing excuses and justifications to explain problematic behaviours), and testing these accounts using experimental designs (e.g. Weiner et al., 1987). However, given its focus on classification and experimental designs, the psychological literature on accounts treats language as reified and abstract. A third (discourse and conversation analytic) research tradition uses recordings of real-life verbal interactions to examine the turn-by-turn unfolding of interactions (e.g. Atkinson and Drew, 1979), but few studies focus on accountability, and none specifically investigate political accountability. My study is the first to bridge the gap between these three disciplinary perspectives by examining the practice of political accountability through the turn-by-turn unfolding of interactions between ministers and members of Scottish parliamentary committees. The thesis aims to contribute to an understanding of democracy in action by providing an insight into the practical ways in which accountability is accomplished within this specific real-life setting. The corpus of data was compiled from 27 hours of video recordings of interactions between ministers and members of four Scottish parliamentary committees. I analysed the data using conversation analysis (CA). Use of CA led me to identify indirectness as a pervading characteristic of the ways in which challenges are formulated and attended to in the interactions between committee members and ministers, as well as a number of ways in which committee members and ministers attended to matters of stake and interest in relation to such challenges. In addition, CA has allowed an insight into the limits of accountability by showing how ministers can avoid answering particular questions. These findings stand in stark contrast to the political science literature, which emphasises the adversarial nature of interactions within parliamentary settings and the availability of mechanisms for holding ministers to account (e.g. parliamentary committees) without investigating the way in which these mechanisms are used in practice. Furthermore, these findings contribute to the psychological literature on…

▼ This dissertation explores a fundamental feature of all human interaction, behavioral coordination. Since early work on motor mimicry, scholars of human communication have invested tremendous energy to discover patterns of behavioral adaptation and the impact these patterns have on individual and relational outcomes. Outcomes such as individual health and well-being, as well as relationship satisfaction and divorce are all contingent on the ability to adapt and coordinate actions (Niederhoffer & Pennebaker, 2002; Stehl et al., 2008; Kulesza et al., 2013; Ireland et al., 2011). Several decades of research have advanced our understanding of specific characteristics of supportive messages and their relationship to important outcomes (for review see MacGeorge, Feng, & Burleson, 2011), and work by communication scientists has uncovered the importance of supportive relationships to health and well-being (Holt et al., 2010). This dissertation focuses on a set of language behaviors and how people repeat, paraphrase, and align language use during supportive conversations. Conversations between friends, strangers, and active listeners all engaged in a supportive conversation were analyzed. The analysis of transcripts of conversations between listeners and disclosers engaged in a 5-minute supportive interaction were conducted in two ways. First, two measures of linguistic coordination, Language Style Matching (LSM) (Ireland & Pennebaker, 2010) and Local Lexical Repetition (LLR) (Cannava & Bodie, 2015) were computed using textual analysis software. Results show that LSM was a significant variable in explaining supportive outcomes, whereas LLR failed to have predictive power. Second, stance analysis (Du Bois, 2007) was used to address supportive communication from a discourse analytic perspective. Results revealed that each relational group accomplished supportive conversations that varied on boundaries of coordination, investment, and affiliation. In general, this dissertation provides full or partial empirical support for the application and conceptualization of LSM and LLR. LSM is shown to be a positive predictor of supportive outcomes, whereas LLR is not. While providing three discourse analytic profiles of alignment, his dissertation also showed that dyads enact linguistic coordination and alignment in variety of ways depending on relationship type. Finally, this dissertation seeks to represent the repertoire of linguistic coordination used during a supportive interaction.

▼ Coherence and incoherence in conversation refer to the relationship between adjacent parts of the conversation (e.g., between one statement and the next, or between one topic and the next). A clear, relevant connection is called coherent; the absence of an obvious connection is incoherent. Coherence and incoherence are therefore central to any analysis of discourse, but, despite many existing theories of coherence and incoherence, there is little empirical knowledge of these phenomena. This dissertation continues the study of coherence began in my master's thesis. In it I propose three axioms to describe the structure of coherence throughout conversations: I. Both coherence and incoherence are necessary for conversation to occur. II. Conversations optimize coherence both globally and locally. III. Coherence is optimized at several different, hierarchical levels of conversation. Because there is already evidence that coherence is maximized at a global level (Black, 1986/1988), I chose to test whether coherence is optimized at a local level. Specifically, local optimization of sequential coherence relations would consist of a series of alternations between coherence and incoherence. I also sought to test this hypothesis at several different levels of conversation (statement, topic, and macrotopic). In order to test the hypothesis, it was necessary to develop a method for segmenting conversations into statements, topics, and macrotopics and a method for measuring the degree of coherence between these segments. Using the guidelines developed, two judges were able to segment conversations at all three levels with high reliability. Similarly, other sets of raters used a magnitude estimation procedure to scale the degree of coherence between units at each of these levels and again achieved high reliability. It was also necessary to develop a time-series analytic technique for verifying the predicted series of alternations in short sequences of data, because existing methods are not applicable to small Ns. The new statistic is based on the geometric properties of a particular data set: it compares the obtained sum of the interior angles facing toward the mean of the data series with the sum of the interior angles facing the mean of all other permutations of these data points. Three getting-acquainted conversations were obtained; these yielded 325 statements (the spoken equivalent of a sentence). After segmentation, coherence scaling, and application of the optimization statistic, there was moderate support for the hypothesis of local optimization. Three quarters of the topics contained sequences of propositions with a sum of interior angles that was smaller than the sum of half of the alternative permutations. At the macrotopic level, however, the hypothesis was not supported. The contributions of this dissertation are (1) an explicit, parsimonious, discourse-based theory of coherence; (2) objective methods for measuring and studying coherence; and (3) a new… Advisors/Committee Members: Bavelas, Janet Beavin (supervisor).

▼ The present thesis examines the nature of calls to an Australian men’s relationship counselling helpline. The focus is on explicating how the helpline’s institution-specific goals are played out, in practice, in sequences of interaction. Men’s help-seeking has become a popular topic of academic interest in recent years due to an apparent paradox: in the Western world, men experience greater morbidity and mortality than women, yet are reportedly less likely to seek help for health-related issues. When men do consult health professionals, it is argued that they display a characteristic masculine preference for action-oriented, solution-focused outcomes. To date, most studies describing such male preferences have been based on survey and interview data. Such methods do not provide detailed information about how help-seeking is routinely accomplished, in situ, in naturally-occurring interactions. The present research addresses this limitation by employing Conversation Analysis (CA) to analyse a corpus of 169 calls fielded by a men’s counselling helpline. Consistent with the mainstream literature on men’s help-seeking, the helpline from which the data in this thesis was collected works from the framework of a solution-focused model of counselling. The helpline has two main aims in its over-the-phone interactions: (1) providing callers an opportunity to talk about their relationship problems, and (2) assisting callers with the development of practical coping strategies and solutions in respect of such problems. These institutional aims correspond to the relevant call-taker categories of troubles-recipient and service provider, respectively. In the CA literature, these categories are often viewed as separate and contradictory in that they orient to two different aspects of talk-in-interaction: whereas a troubles-telling is focused on the teller and his/her experience, a service-encounter is focused on the problem at hand, its properties, and ways to fix it. The aim in this thesis was to explicate the skilled ways in which counsellors managed the competing relevancies of their dual institutional role in sequences of talk-in-interaction recorded from the helpline. The analysis showed that when callers indicated that they had called the helpline for the explicit purpose of receiving advice, counsellors oriented to this type of account as a sufficient demonstration of accountability. By contrast, there were a number of interactional difficulties associated with the production of narrative reports on a trouble. These difficulties manifested in sequences of interaction where counsellors attempted to turn the reason-for-call from troubles-telling to service provision, and where callers routinely resisted these attempts. Through an examination of this resistance, a pattern of interactional asymmetry or difference in orientation between caller and counsellor to the purpose of calls taking place between them was described. Whereas the majority of callers appeared to call the helpline for the explicit purpose of ‘talking to’ someone,… Advisors/Committee Members: Le Couteur, Amanda Jane (advisor), Crabb, Shona Helen (advisor), School of Psychology (school).
