| Chapter | |
Abstract
Speaker selection and recipiency are more complicated when a story is told between three or more people (as opposed to those told by a speaker with just one recipient). This chapter draws on conversation analysis to examine naturally occurring triadic L2 (Japanese/English) interaction recorded in a hairdressing setting between a client, a stylist, and an assistant who is observing the cut. The focus is on third-person repair in story-implicative sequences in which the peripheral hairdresser momentarily self-selects in order to clarify, interpret or explain some aspect of the telling. The analysis suggests that the peripheral interactant can play a significant mediatory role in maintaining intersubjectivity. The teller-recipient constellation can shift rapidly when the mediating participant receipts the telling on behalf of the person who initiated it or when a telling-initiation addressed to the primary speaker is taken up instead by the peripheral participant due to a delayed response. The chapter offers insight into how L2 interaction is managed beyond the classroom and extends CA scholarship on the fluidity of recipiency in storytelling sequences.
