Abstract

In this conversation analytic/interactional linguistic study, I aim to show which kinds of resources can be used by participants to display empathy in response to affect-laden tellings of personal experiences in German everyday interaction. ‘Empathy’ refers to the display of understanding of the other person's emotional situation. It will be shown that a whole range of resources such as facial expressions, response cries + assessments, expressions with mental verbs, formulations, and second stories can be used, and that these resources are deployed at specific sequential positions, and in a specific order from kinetic and ‘fleeting’ to verbal and ‘substantial’, in the course of the telling of a personal experience.
