Étudier la conversation pour mieux comprendre le langage by Laurent Prévot, Roxane Bertrand, Philippe Blache, Christine Meunier, Noël Nguyen, Berthille Pallaud

“…This approach to interaction provides a theoretical framework for explaining the conversational phenomena mentioned above.This chapter will be structured as follows: 1/ conversation will be discussed as the articulation between representation and communication through language as a social action; 2/ a second part will aim at drawing up an inventory of the “traces” of the activity of conversation (communicative goal, temporal pressure, co-presence, cognitive load, social pressure) on the different linguistic units (phonemes, lexicon, syntax, prosody); 3/ we will then address the phenomena specific to conversation which are not identifiable in other types of speech (speech turns, disfluencies, conversational feedback, co-produced utterances, non-phrastic utterances, non-lexical utterances, etc.)); 4/ we will finally develop some perspectives related to all these works.…”
