Bodily (kinesic) displays of affiliation/disaffiliation
in everyday conversation between friends
and acquaintances
The purpose of the data-session is to explore the intertwined character
of kinesic and vocal resources used in displaying affi liation and
disaffiliation in everyday conversation. Observations will be made on
the ways in which facial expression and other kinesic resources (such
as nodding) figure in displays of affi liation and disaffi liation.
The data used will include 1-3 extracts of the closing section of
a story-telling sequence with the following evaluation sequence.
The duration of the extracts to be shown will be approximately one
minute each. The participants will be provided handouts where the
talk-in-interaction and the direction of gaze will be transcribed
using conversation analytic conventions. For transcription of the
kinesic information, specific symbols will be used. The two non-English
extracts will be translated into English.
