Voiced direct reported speech in conversational storytelling : Sequential patterns of stance taking

Abstract

The paper discusses how voiced direct reported speech (DRS) can display a speaker stance in talk-in-interaction. The analysis concentrates on the sequential organization of matching voiced DRS and the types of actions that this practice performs within three storytelling sequences. Two of the extracts exemplify voiced DRS sequences in displaying a shared stance, whereas one extract illustrates a contrary case of recipientinitiated voiced DRS in displaying a disaligning stance. The analysis of three examples indicates that a voiced DRS utterance that displays a shared stance appears to be a preferred response to voiced DRS. A sequence of subsequent matching voiced DRS utterances therefore appears to be an orderly phenomenon in interaction and a sequentially relevant practice of stance taking.
