Abstract
Institutional settings in which larger groups of people interact constitute a perspicuous setting for the study of how a diversity of voices, opinions, and positions are expressed and addressed among the participants. The paper studies how multiple recipiency is bodily and practically organized by the participants in a situated manner, with a particular focus on chairmen, facilitators, animators in charge of the management of the encounter. More specifically, the paper studies the linguistic and embodied organization of local orientations to multiple participants and parties, to the difference between recipients and addressees, and to the lamination of different voices in single embodied turns at talk. Within a conversation analytic perspective, the paper offers a detailed analysis of the actions of a facilitator mediating grass-root political meetings among citizens. In this context, after a proposal has been uttered by a citizen, the facilitator formulates it again for the all of the participants, both orienting towards different co-present participants and different voices and towards a collectivization of the proposal. Through the analysis of the emergent progressivity of the facilitator’s reformulations and the way they are multimodally designed for multiple recipients, I offer empirical evidence for a reflection about relationships between recipiency, participation and multiparty interactions.
