“…I will refrain from giving more examples here, as a faithful transcription of these phenomena is always in need of longer explanations. Baldauf (1998) convincingly demonstrates how viewers show their emotional involvement using these strategies. Similar to the direct address in examples 4-6, in the ATTAC corpus, these out-bursts serve multifarious functions: they help construct the identities of the viewers as ardent supporters.…”

“…(Liebes and Katz, 1990: 32ff) The authors, too, realise that this procedure is problematic: "A recoding of critical statements in smaller units and in more subdivisions produced a much larger number of critical statements than before. The earlier coding is biased towards the referential..." (Liebes and Katz, 1991: 33) For the DFG project "Über Fernsehen sprechen" (Holly et al, 2001;Baldauf, 1998;Klemm, 2000), the interaction of Germán families watching televisión in their homes was taped. For this project, both the talk of the viewers and the talk/events on televisión were transcribed.…”

“…Whenthey do so, however, they are notusually doing so for their own or the televisión's benefit, but rather their utterances are directed at other viewers". (1992: 34) Also, Baldauf (2001) found only cases in which the conversationalists showed emotional detachment to the incidents on televisión and staged their utterances for the amusement of the co-viewers.…”

This article aims to describe specific practices of televisión spectators based on recordings of English families and friends while watching football on televisión. Their conversations and the talk and events on televisión are transcribed and analysed with interactional sociolinguistic and conversation analytical methodologies.By doing 'watching football on televisión', the spectators constitute themselves as a community of practice. Their strategies include direct address of the televisión (i.e. the commentator or one of the protagonists of the game) and signalling of independent knowledge and emotions to construct their identities of football fan and expert. Conflict between these two identities may become instantiated in the talk.At times, the spectators mutually negotiate the participant role 'party to the talk at home' for the televisión. This is done by furnishing second pair parts to the commentators' adjacency pairs. Also, it includes respecting the commentators' turns. Having spent countless hours watching football on televisión, the spectators manage to carefully construct their talk around the commentators' so that one single, coherent conversation emerges.The practices show how the participants as watchers strive to become part of the spectacle using the televisión as a bridge to the game itself.

“…The two viewers seem absorbed by the game. As all families in the corpus, they produce 'islands of talk' ('Gesprächsinseln ' Baldauf, 2001) only, i.e. they say a few words, remain silent for a longer period, talk a little, relapse back into silence… Also, they talk about the game and football related matters only.…”

This paper describes the gaze behaviour of television viewers talking to each other. It is based on the ATTAC-corpus which consists of transcribed video recordings of Britons watching football at home on TV. In regular everyday conversation, generally people tend to face each other, and gaze is used as a key cue for turn-taking and interactionalitv. However, in this specific setting, the conversationalists face the following dilemma: they can direct their gaze at each other, but only at the cost of not being able to look at the screen. The data suggest that spatial arrangements, age, and an orientation towards humour influence the gaze behaviour of the viewers. In contrast to conversation in general, the rule "the listener should look at the speaker, when the speaker chooses to look at the listener" could not be corroborated.
