“…These comparisons were facilitated by lengthy discussions of the annotation choices made until the underlying sources of disagreement were identified and resolved. We did not measure agreement by Kappa, as such measures can mask the underlying source of disagreement (Stelma & Cameron 2007) or erronerously indicate agreement (e.g. Uebersax 1987;Gnisci et al 2013).…”

Multimodal analysis of quotation in oral narratives

Abstract:We investigate direct speech quotation in informal oral narratives by analyzing the contribution of bodily articulators (character viewpoint gestures, character facial expression, character intonation, and the meaningful use of gaze) in three quote environments, or quote sequences -single quotes, quoted monologues and quoted dialogues -and in initial vs. non-initial position within those sequences. Our analysis draws on findings from the linguistic and multimodal realization of quotation, where multiple articulators are often observed to be co-produced with single direct speech quotes (e.g. Thompson & Suzuki 2014), especially on the so-called left boundary of the quote (Sidnell 2006). We use logistic regression to model multimodal quote production across and within quote sequences, and find unique sets of multimodal articulators accompanying each quote sequence type. We do not, however, find unique sets of multimodal articulators which distinguish initial from non-initial utterances; utterance position is instead predicted by type of quote and presence of a quoting predicate. Our findings add to the growing body of research on multimodal quotation, and suggest that the multimodal production of quotation is more sensitive to the number of characters and utterances which are quoted than to the difference between introducing and maintaining a quoted characters' perspective.

“…Stelma and Cameron 2007). Every line in a transcript was reserved for a single intonation unit defined conceptually as a single act of attention and linguistically (phonetically) the following perceptual criteria were used: a) changes in fundamental frequency (perceived as pitch), b) changes in duration (shortening or lengthening of a segment, a syllable or word), c) changes in intensity (perceived as loudness), d) alternations of vocalizations and silence (perceived as pausing), e) changes in voice quality (accelerations) of various kinds and changes in turn.…”

“…A discourse dynamics approach to metaphors in social interaction underlies the methodology of the study (Cameron 2007;Cameron, Maslen, Maule, Todd, Stratton & Stanley 2009) and is combined with a 'weak' version of conceptual metaphor theory (e.g. Lakoff 1993).…”

“…Transcripts were formatted in intonation units following Chafe (1994) and Du Bois, Schuetze-Coburn, Cumming and Paolino (1993) (see Stelma & Cameron 2007 for a discussion of the use of intonation units in metaphor research). The transcription was orthographic, with pauses marked but not stress.…”
