Abstract
This paper investigates one particular type of simultaneous speech, namely turn- sharing, in the Freiburg Sofa Talks, a corpus of video-recorded dyadic conversations between partners, friends, and siblings who are recollecting events they have experi- enced together in the past. The focus is on interactions in German and French. In turn- sharing, participants aim at saying the same thing at the same time, using these mo- ments to convey something to each other, and occasionally to a third party in the room. We identify two different types of turn-sharing, choral performance and chiming in, which are brought off by different micro-practices with verbal, prosodic, and bodily resources. Each type achieves something different interactionally, either displaying a shared affective stance towards something in an alternative world or embodying an epistemic claim to know as much as the main speaker. We conclude that choral per- formance and chiming in are two sedimented formats for turn-sharing that are ach- ieved with different practices using semiotic resources that are comparable, if not identical, across languages.
