ISBN: 0195109287 ISBN-13: 9780195109283 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA OUR PRICE: $267.30 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: August 1999 Annotation: The authors here promote the reintroduction of temporality into the description and analysis of spoken interaction. They argue that spoken words are, in fact, temporal objects and that unless linguists consider how they are delivered within the context of time, they will not capture the full meaning of situated language use. Their approach is rigorously empirical, with analyses of English, German, and Italian rhythm, all grounded in sequences of actual talk-in-interaction. |
