Book title | Complexity of Interaction: Studies in Multimodal Conversation Analysis |
Chapter |
Abstract
This chapter presents a conversation analytic study of a collection of 79 cases where a singer of a choir visibly orients to something in the singing being problematic and deviating from expectations. These embodied noticings most often target the producer’s own mistakes (self-initiation of repair), but sometimes also a fellow singer’s (other-initiation of repair). The noticings/repair initiations are produced while the (rest of the) choir sings, and thus, the cases involve multiactivity (hence providing an example of complexity of interaction): the two activities—singing and orienting to a mistake—can progress in parallel or be mutually exclusive. The analysis focuses on the orders of multiactivity as well as the nature of the noticing/repair initiating action (e.g., its response relevance) in the context of the collective activity of choir rehearsal.
