Abstract
This chapter analyzes first-person singular declarative statements and their accompanying actions in French cooking shows. These ‘what I’m doing’ action combinations (Frick 2017) include lexical verbs having to do with object seizing/manipulation and ambulatory movement in either the futur proche (the French periphrastic future) or the simple present tense. The discussion shows that these turns mobilize others. Specifically, they result in the recruitment (Kendrick and Drew 2016) of coparticipants to assist the speaker in some way. The discussion focuses on the interplay between grammatical form, embodiment, setting, and interactional achievement. It shows that ‘what I’m doing’ action combinations not only mobilize the hosts of the show, but may also mobilize non-addressable third parties such as camera operators.
