本研究通过会话分析，分析了日本一所大学的学生在英语作为一种弗兰卡（ELF）语境中的发音协商。先前的研究已经证明，ELF语境中的互动者可以修复音段发音，从而使它们能够在原位保持相互可理解的发音（例如，松本2011; O 'Neal 2015）。然而，本研究声称，语音协商的发音ELF的互动，有时可以超越恢复或保持相互理解的发音的目标。也就是说，语音协商可以继续在ELF的互动，即使在恢复或维护的相互理解是实现。虽然大多数ELF音位学研究（例如，Deterding，2013年; Jenkins，2000）迄今为止一直专注于可理解性问题，ELF语境中的互动者也可能会转向超越维持相互可理解性作为互动目标的状态。也就是说，“可理解性”，或个人喜欢的发音方式的协商，可以是ELF互动中语音协商的另一个目标。在此基础上，本研究为英语使用者在跨文化交际中如何协商发音提供了教学启示。
Through conversation analysis, this study analyzes the negotiation of pronunciation in English as a lingua franca (ELF) contexts among students at a Japanese university. Previous research has demonstrated that interactants in ELF contexts can repair segmental pronunciation so that they can maintain mutually intelligible pronunciationin situ(e.g., Matsumoto 2011; O'Neal 2015). The present study nevertheless claims that the phonetic negotiation of pronunciation in ELF interactions can at times go beyond the goal of restoring or maintaining mutually intelligible pronunciation. That is, phonetic negotiations can continue in ELF interactions even after the restoration or maintenance of mutual intelligibility is achieved. Although most ELF phonology studies (e.g., Deterding, 2013; Jenkins, 2000) have hitherto focused on the issue of intelligibility, interactants in ELF contexts might also orient to statesbeyondthe maintenance of mutual intelligibility as an interactional goal. Namely, ‘transintelligibility’, or the negotiation of individually favored ways of pronouncing, can be an alternative aim of phonetic negotiations in ELF interactions. Based on the analysis, this study provides pedagogical implications regarding how to negotiate pronunciations for English language users in intercultural communication.
