> Dear Jena Linguists,
>
> we cordially invite you to the JenLing-Kolloquium on Wednesday, June  
> 15 from 18-20h (c.t.).
>
> Beatrice Szczepek Reed (King's College London) will give a talk on:
> "Glottalization vs. word linking as conversational resources:  
> evidence from German and English"
>
> Abstract
> The presentation explores the role of glottalization vs. wordlinking  
> in the production of multi-unit turns. The data show that speakers  
> of German,English and French use the distinction between the two  
> patterns as a phoneticresource for managing the interactional  
> distinction between continuing a socialaction and starting a new  
> one. In German, glottalization of vowel-initiated turnconstructional  
> units (TCUs) has been found to co-occur at high frequency withthe  
> initiation of new social actions, as in the case of an assessment  
> followedby a new enquiry. In contrast,vowel-initial TCUs that are  
> linked directly to the end of a preceding TCU typicallyco-occur with  
> a continuation of an in-progress action, as in the instance of  
> apolar question being continued as an alternative question, making  
> the two aunified enquiry. This phenomenon has also been shown for  
> French in the context ofconfirmation sequences. The present study  
> expands the analysis to BritishEnglish, where the data show a  
> similar distribution of patterns. Thetypological differences that  
> exist with regard to the glottalization/ linkingcontrast make it a  
> fruitful environment in which to ask whether certain soundcontrasts  
> lend themselves to the cueing of particular social actions  
> cross-linguistically.In German phonology, glottalization of  
> word-initial vowels is considered thenorm, whereas in French and  
> English liaison is expected at C_V word boundaries.However, if  
> natural talk in all three languages shows connections  
> betweenglottalization and the start of new actions on the one hand,  
> and linking andaction continuation on the other, this could be  
> evidence that sound patternsare not solely determined by  
> language-specific phonologies but are also crosslinguisticresources  
> for managing interaction.

> The talk will take place in the 'Seminarraum' in Fürstengraben 30, 1st floor.
