“…The term bodily-vocal demonstration used for the phenomenon in the current study underlines the primacy of the embodied display, suggesting a gentle boundary between bodily-vocal demonstrations and emotional vocal displays, including response cries, as discussed in e.g. Fox and Robles (2010), as well as a slight difference from vocal performances that primarily represent sounds, such as car horns and music (Sidnell 2006: 383;Tolins 2013). In bodily-vocal demonstrations the vocalizations support the bodily displays, reinforcing their interactional task.…”

“…Together with gestures and other semiotic resources, nonsense syllables can help to build entire turns and actions (Goodwin, Goodwin, Olsher 2002). Vocalizations have been shown to occur in enactments (such as response cries) and "body quotes" in interaction (Streeck, 2002;Sidnell, 2006;Fox and Robles 2010). They can also accomplish the crucial actions of assessing and directing in music and dance instruction (Keevallik 2013;Tolins 2013).…”

The study focuses on turns in interaction that involve a bodily-vocal demonstration: an embodied demonstration that is accompanied by a non-lexical vocalization. It shows how the temporal organization of these demonstrations contributes to participant treatment of them as a part of a turn-constructional unit, mostly as its completion. It is also suggested that a bodilyvocal demonstration may function as a separate turn-constructional unit, with a transition relevance point before it, and other participants refraining from action before its completion. Vocalizations, occasionally with coherent pitch contours of intonation units, are argued to render bodily displays vocal space within turns-at-talk. After a bodily-vocal demonstration, the turn-constructional unit can be recompleted with verbal devices, displaying further similarity to verbal-only turns. The analysis calls into attention the relevance of embodied behavior to the emergence of units in conversation. Turn organization and bodily-vocal demonstrations 1

“…Going beyond previous research which focused on qualitative analyses of the production of multimodal direct speech utterances (often about single quoted utterances -e.g. Fox & Robles 2010;Sidnell 2006), we provided a comprehensive quantitative comparison of the production of multimodal quote sequences, which account for possible differences in the number of quoted speakers and number of quoted utterances by those speakers. While multimodal articulators and linguistic features were found to be predictive of quote sequences, speaker gender was not.…”

One such example comes from Park (2009), who suggests that Korean speakers systematically use different multimodal behaviors depending on whether they use a direct speech construction to quote past-self (present), pastaddressee (present) or a past third person character (absent), even though the Korean quoting particle already makes this distinction.…”

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.

The objectives of this paper are to show that quotative like, while relatively new to colloquial varieties of (white) English, is attested in varieties of African speech of the continent (represented by Akan (Asante Twi)) and the diaspora (represented by Anti-American African (AAA)) 2 decades, if not over a century prior. Secondly, we show that there are similar bases for grammaticalization for Akan (Asante Twi) sɛ and AAA like whereby they have gone from showing resemblance/approximation to serving as quotatives. Thus, we provide examples from AAA and Akan (Asante Twi) to demonstrate correlations between the two quotatives using primary text research and analyses based on a variety of sources placing the putative origin of quotative like into the collective African context. In doing so, we find that both AAA quotative like and Akan (Asante Twi) sɛ are attested prior to what seems to be the relatively recent adoption of AAA's preexisting quotative into colloquial white American English, which is only first attested in the 1980s. We also find that quotative like and sɛ follow 1 We would like to thank the organizers and participants of the 8
