A turn-taking system for British news interviews

Abstract: The British news interview turn-taking system operates through a simple form of turn-type preallocation. This article shows that a large number of the systematic differences between the news interview and mundane conversation are a product of these constraints on the production of types of turns. It then explores the relationship of turn-type preallocation in news interviews to the background legal and institutional restrictions on British broadcast journalists. In so doing, it notes how the organisation of tu… Show more

“…e.g. Atkinson and Drew, 1979;Clayman and Heritage, 2002;Drew and Heritage, 1992;Greatbatch, 1988), meaning that what the interviewer should properly be doing is to ask questions and what the interviewee should be doing is to give answers to those questions. As long as a question has not been recognizably put, the interviewee withholds speaking, and in this way contributes reflexively to the establishment of the normative constraints of the interview.…”

“…Les débats impliquant des femmes sont analysés dans les termes et le contexte du doing gender, en tenant compte de l'emploi de la langue tchèque, lors d'une interaction institutionnalisée. En effet, les interviews télévisées sont une variante de la communication institutionnelle, caractérisée par un face à face où un médiateur (ou une médiatrice) pose les questions, tandis que l'invité est censé y répondre (Heritage, 1985 ;Clayman, 1991 ;Heritage, Greatbatch, 1991 ;Scannel, 1991 ;Drew, Heritage, 1992 ;Greatbatch, 1998 ;Bell, Garrett, 1998 ;Weizman, 1998Weizman, , 2003Cmejrková, 2003). Et si ce genre est caractérisé par un dialogue authentique, plusieurs techniques du dialogue authentique en sont supprimées, tandis que d'autres sont mises en oeuvre (par exemple, les techniques de la modération : la transmission de la parole aux différents invités, la fixation de l'ordre des réponses, la limitation de la durée des réponses, etc.).…”

Dans le dialogue médiatique, les habitudes du langage, évidentes et convenables dans un dialogue spontané, sont donc réévaluées (Greatbatch, 1998 ;Clayman, Heritage, 2002).…”

“…There has been growing literature on the discourse of interview programs over the past decades. Some studies have focused on the art of questioning and interrogation of interview program (Clayman, 1988;1993;2001;Macaulay, 1996;Roth & Olsher, 1997), and the overall organization and structure of interviews (Greatbatch, 1988). Other studies have dealt with the linguistic and discursive aspects of the discourse of interview programs: the interpersonal metaphor and its functions in interview programs (Perdana & Saragih, 2013), the interaction patterns in interview programs from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) (Huang & Liao, 2008) and the Engagement resources in interview programs (Li & Zhang, 2010).…”
