This study investigates the difference in the usage of spoken discourse markers by native English speakers and L2 learners. Previous studies have shown that L2 learners are very different from native speakers in terms of the frequencies and functions of using discourse markers, but corpus-based research is limited, and most of them are limited to planned and manipulated speech. This gap is solved by using a mixed research method to analyze two comparable corpora composed of real languages and conversations in daily life. The results show that compared with English native speakers, L2 learners are not able to use DMs equally frequent and underused certain kinds of discourse markers significantly. In addition, L2 learners use these items mainly to perform a textual function, while native speakers use a higher proportion of interpersonal and interactive functions. And the reasons behind this phenomenon may attributed to cultural differences and the inadequacy of foreign language teaching.

“…As a process of sending and receiving information, communication places the importance on conversation which is an essential element in most parts of communication. Conversation itself should be comprised with a speaker and a hearer who occupy their own functions and tasks (Baiat et al, 2013;Hagoort & Meyer, 2013). A speaker, as the name implies, is a doer in a conversation whose task is to send information to a hearer.…”

Adjacency Pairs as Uttered in the Conversations of Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation Movie Script

This paper contains a discussion of the structures of Adjacency Pairs as uttered in the conversations of Lost in Translation movie script in terms of conversational analysis study. A conversation consists of at least two turns and two utterances which contain two acts of speech. Such utterances consisting of a first pair part which is followed by a second pair part form adjacent pairs which can be either preferred or dispreferred responses. Adjacency Pairs in term of preferred responses include twenty eight structures, while those in term of dispreferred responses include fourteen structures. The choice of a variety of responses is influenced by habits and cultures through which speakers convey meaning. Different habits and cultures of the speakers allow them to produce particular utterances which contain particular acts of speech. Subjectivity and intention influence the second speaker to respond the first speaker’s act based on what is intended. This is psychologically subjective rather than illogical. The complex structures of Adjacency Pairs are also caused by noises, unclear voices, and complex sentence patterns. The variations of adjacent pairs are basically contextual and situational which imply that Adjacency Pairs emerge in different structures within different contexts of conversations. Keywords: Adjacency pairs, turn taking, conversation, speech act, utterance PASANGAN BERDAMPINGAN PADA UJARAN PERCAKAPAN DI NASKAH FILM LOST IN TRANSLATION KARYA SOFIA COPPOLAAbstrakArtikel ini berisi pembahasan tentang pola Pasangan Berdampingan berdasarkan ujaran percakapan pada naskah filem Lost in Translation melalui teori analisis percakapan. Percakapan terdiri atas dua giliran and ujaran yang mengandung dua tindak tutur. Ujaran-ujaran yang terdiri atas bagian berdampingan pertama dan diikuti bagian berdampingan kedua sehingga membentuk pasangan berdampingan baik dengan respon yang diharapkan maupun yang tidak diharapkan. Pasangan Berdampingan khususnya respon yang diharapkan terdiri atas dua puluh delapan pola berdampingan, sedangkan respon yang tidak diharapkan terdiri atas empat belas pola. Ragam respon dapat dipengaruhi oleh kebiasaan dan budaya pembicara pada saat berbicara. Perbedaan kebiasaan dan budaya mempengaruhi pembicara dalam membuat ujaran yang mengandung tindak tutur tertentu. Subjektifitas dan intensi juga dapat mempengaruhi respon pembicara kedua terhadap tindak tutur pembicara pertama. Hal ini bersifat subjektif namun bukan tidak logis. Pola yang komplels pada Pasangan Berdampingan juga dapat dipengaruhi oleh suasana ribut, suara yang kurang jelas, dan struktur kalimat yang kompleks. Ragam pola tersebut pada dasarnya bersifat kontekstual dan situasional yang berarti bahwa pola Pasangan Berdampingan akan berbeda pada konteks percakapan yang berbeda. Kata kunci: Pasangan berdampingan, giliran berbicara, konversasi, tindak tutur, ujaran

“…Pragmatic markers, also known as discourse markers, are widely used in daily communication as devices to mark textual relationships, to show speakers' attitudes, manage the speaker turn, or intertwine interpersonal relationships (Fraser 1996;Briz 1998;Martín Zorraquino and Portolés 1999;Pons 2006;Cuenca 2013; among others). However, while there has been a great deal of research on pragmatic markers in different languages at the verbal level (see, e.g., Aijmer and Simon-Vandenbergen 2006;Fischer 2006;Degand et al 2013; among others), little is still known about the interplay between pragmatic markers and their multimodal manifestation (see, e.g., Ferre 2011;Esfandiari Baiat et al 2013;Abuczki 2014;Hata 2016;Debras 2021 for exceptions) and, to our knowledge, no investigation of such nature has been undertaken in Catalan to date.…”

This exploratory study aims to investigate the co-occurrence of Catalan pragmatic markers that fulfill an interactive function and multimodal cues, such as manual gestures, adaptors, head gestures, and eye gaze. To do so, we utilized spontaneous face-to-face conversations between ten different dyads, all of whom were undergraduate students discussing movies that they had recently seen. We processed the data with descriptive quantitative statistics, specifically employing exploratory multifactorial statistical visualization techniques, including multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and cluster analysis. The results showed that pragmatic markers generally co-occur with multimodal cues. Although the multimodal system works independently, when pragmatic markers are uttered, both systems tend to harmonize in accordance with general communicative tasks, particularly turn management, alignment, and social affiliation.
