Neumaier, Theresa,
Conversation in world Englishes : turn-taking and cultural variation in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English / Turn-taking and cultural variation in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English. Theresa Neumaier. - Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : 2023. - xvi, 290 p : illustrations ; 24 cm. - Studies in English language. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 272-287) and index.
Introduction -- Investigating talk-in-interaction in culture -- Codifying patterns of interaction -- Turn allocation in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English conversations : forms, contexts, and frequencies -- Turn-claiming and turn-holding resources in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English conversations -- Turn-claiming and turn-holding : strategy clusters -- Cooperation or fights for the floor? -- Conclusion and outlook.
"Turn-taking is a fascinating feature of conversational interaction, due to its systematic and ordered nature. However, research has so far focused mainly on American and British conversations, with other varieties of English receiving much less attention. This pioneering book addresses this gap by exploring turn-taking patterns and cultural variation in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English. Bringing together research from the fields of Conversation Analysis and World Englishes for the first time, Neumaier conducts an empirical study based on authentic audio data of interactions in these global varieties of English, and demonstrates that conversational strategies differ between speaker groups with different cultural backgrounds. Shedding new light on the impact of cultural and sociolinguistic factors on conversational patterns, it is essential reading for advanced students and scholars interested in language, variation, and social interaction, as well as those working in the fields of Conversation Analysis, Interactional Linguistics, and World Englishes"--
