AUER, Peter and Aldo DI LUZIO
(eds.)
This volume suggests a novel
treatment of context in the analysis of everyday interaction. On a theoretical
level, it advocates a switch of focus from 'context' as a preestablished,
monolithic category which constringes co-participants' verbal and nonverbal
behavior, to an active notion of 'contextualization': in order to make
oneself understood, participants have to establish and maintain those
shared contextual frames which in turn are relevant to the local interpretation
of their verbal and nonverbal activities. On an empirical level, the volume
contains exemplary analyses that show how participants employ 'contextualization
cues' of prosodic (rhythm, intonation, tempo, etc.) or nonverbal (gaze,
gesture, etc.) nature in order to 'achieve context'. The volume is also
an appraisal of the theory of contextualization developed by John Gumperz.
In their contributions, researchers from various schools of research,
such as conversation analysis, micro-ethnography, phonetics/phonology
and metapragmatics, relate their work to this theory.
