2024 Calibrating sensitive actions in palliative care consultations: Physicians’ use of routinized wenn ich ehrlich bin/wenn man ehrlich ist -constructions New Perspectives in Interactional Linguistic Research, Selting, Margret and Dagmar Barth-Weingarten (eds.), pp. 310–333 | Chapter
This article explores physicians’ uses of “honestly” wenn (‘if’)-clauses in German palliative care interactions. In “stretching the old linguistics to meet the challenge of talk-in-interaction” (Schegloff 1996: 114), the study aims to further our understanding of how routinized communicative… read more
2023 Chapter 5. Practices of person reference in Chinese and German interactions: A contrastive analysis of “third person reference forms” in SMS, WhatsApp and WeChat communication It's different with you: Contrastive perspectives on address research, Baumgarten, Nicole and Roel Vismans (eds.), pp. 113–141 | Chapter
Referring to persons in interaction is a central human practice (Enfield 2007: 97), which is located at an intersection where cultural, linguistic, and interactional conventions meet (Levinson 2005: 433). In this paper, I will analyse practices of “third person reference forms” used by… read more
2022 Relationship building in oncological doctor-patient interaction: The use of address forms as ‘Tie Signs’ Relationships in Organized Helping: Analyzing interaction in psychotherapy, medical encounters, coaching and in social media, Scarvaglieri, Claudio, Eva-Maria Graf and Thomas Spranz-Fogasy (eds.), pp. 195–220 | Chapter
This paper studies practices of relationship building between oncologists and their patients during consultations when a diagnosis of malignancy is communicated. The analysis – with its focus on physicians’ uses of terms of address – aims to provide a better understanding of the sequential… read more
2021 Enacting ‘Being with You’: Vocative uses of du (“you”) in German everyday interaction Pragmatics 31:1, pp. 87–113 | Article
The German second person personal pronoun du is commonly described as a deictic “shifter” or a T-address term, which is incorporated as an argument of a predicate. Exploring the ways in which participants use pronouns in everyday interaction, however, shows that these are not the only uses of du. read more
2020 Chapter 7. Practices of clause-combining: From complex wenn-constructions to insubordinate (‘stand-alone’) conditionals in everyday spoken German Emergent Syntax for Conversation: Clausal patterns and the organization of action, Maschler, Yael, Simona Pekarek Doehler, Jan K. Lindström and Leelo Keevallik (eds.), pp. 185–220 | Chapter
Traditionally, conditional wenn-clauses in German are treated as subordinate clauses, either preceding or following their matrix clauses. My data – based on naturally occurring German talk-in-interaction from various settings – show that participants in everyday interactions use various types of… read more
2015 Introduction: Temporality in interaction Temporality in Interaction, Deppermann, Arnulf and Susanne Günthner (eds.), pp. 1–24 | Article
The authors establish a phenomenological perspective on the temporal constitution of experience and action. Retrospection and projection (i.e. backward as well as forward orientation of everyday action), sequentiality and the sequential organization of activities as well as simultaneity (i.e.… read more
2015 A temporally oriented perspective on connectors in interactions: und zwar ('namely/in fact')-constructions in everyday German” conversations Temporality in Interaction, Deppermann, Arnulf and Susanne Günthner (eds.), pp. 237–264 | Article
This paper examines und zwar-(‘namely/in fact’)-constructions in terms of their real-time processing in interaction. In using und zwar, speakers orient backwards by linking their current utterance to prior ones. At the same time, und zwar functions as a projecting strategy for anticipating… read more
2011 The construction of emotional involvement in everyday German narratives – interactive uses of ‘dense constructions’ Pragmatics 21:4, pp. 573–592 | Article
This paper investigates ways in which participants in everyday German narratives construct emotions as social phenomena; i.e. in particular, how they organize and communicate emotional involvement. I will argue that contextualizing emotions and affects permeates various levels of linguistic and… read more
2011 N be that-constructions in everyday German conversation: A reanalysis of ‘die Sache ist/das Ding ist’ (‘the thing is’)-clauses as projector phrases Subordination in Conversation: A cross-linguistic perspective, Laury, Ritva and Ryoko Suzuki (eds.), pp. 11–36 | Article
Based on a corpus of conversational German, I will show that the standard view of N be that-constructions (e.g. ‘the thing is/the point is...’) as [matrix clause + subordinated complement clause] cannot be supported by actual data from spoken interactions. Instead of a subordinated complement… read more
