本文从英美英语话轮转换的会话分析结果出发,探讨了日语话轮转换的语法意义。特别是,我研究的方式,语法可能会牵连到建设的话轮和投影的转折结束在日本的交谈互动。从粗略的意义上说,日语和英语的语法结构可以被视为截然相反。这反映在参与者的取向在各自的语言转向建设和投影的显着差异。具体来说,与英语语法相比,日语的语法结构允许一个正在进行的话轮的渐进式转化,并且压倒性地导致一个话轮的出现形状可以被知道的时间点的晚到达。然而,日语中这种延迟的投射性在很大程度上被参与者潜在的更大程度的确定性所补偿,参与者可以通过标记可能的过渡相关位置的设备来定位话轮结尾。
In this article I explore the interactional significance of grammar on turn-taking in Japanese in view of reported conversation analytic findings on turn-taking for Anglo-American English. In particular, I examine ways in which grammar may be implicated in the construction of turns at speaking and the projection of turn endings in Japanese talk-in-interaction. In a crude sense, the grammatical structures of Japanese and English can be regarded as polar opposites. This is reflected in dramatic differences in participant orientations to turn construction and projection in the respective languages. Specifically, in contrast to English grammar, which massively enables early projectability of the social action that might occupy a turn, the grammatical structure of Japanese permits incremental transformability of a turn in progress and overwhelmingly results in a later arrival of the point at which the emerging shape of a turn can be known. This delayed projectability in Japanese, however, is to a large extent compensated by a potentially greater degree of certitude with which participants can localize turn endings through devices that mark possible transition-relevance places.
