We previously developed an approach to spoken Russian monologic
discourse, and are now extending that, looking primarily at interactional multi-party
discourse, contextualizing speech phenomena as multichannel (multimodal) communication. The
evidence analyzed is the Russian Pear Chats and Stories corpus, see <multidiscourse.ru>. Scores
transcripts are introduced to annotate the interlocutors’ shared time line, including
periods of silence. The elementary discourse unit (EDU) is posited as a central building
block of local discourse structure. Canonical EDUs coincide with clauses; additionally,
subclausal, superclausal, and paraclausal EDUs are found. Prosodic phenomena are considered;
EDUs and groups of EDUs are accounted through a discourse-semantic category of phase.
Disfluencies and other structural phenomena are systematically treated. Conventions of
discourse transcription capture both prosodic and functional aspects of discourse.
Keywords: spoken discourse, discourse transcription, local discourse structure, elementary discourse unit, prosody, pause, discourse accent, phase, spoken sentence
