CONVERSATION OF ANALYSIS
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background or
rational
Conversation analysis (commonly abbreviated as CA) is the
study of talk in interaction (both verbal-non verbal in situations of everyday
life). It’s generally attempts to describe the orderliness, structure and
sequential patterns of interaction, whether institusional.
The use of the term “conversation” to label this
disciplinary movement is sometimes considered to be misleading. For instance,
one of CA’s principal parctitioners, Emanuel Schegloff, has more recently
identified “talk-in-interaction” as CA’s topic.
1.2 Purpose
The important point for our
present purpose is that we know how to correct the mistake. We can recognize
our own mistakes.
CHAPTER II
ANALYSIS
2.1. Definition of Conversation Analysis
Conversation analysis is an approach to the study
of natural conversation, especially with a view to determining the following :
-
Participants’ methods of turn-taking, constructing seauences of
utterances across turns, identifying and repairing problems, and employing gaze
and movement.
-
How conversation works in different conventional settings.
2.2
Examples
Here
are some examples of coventional settings in which conversation analysis could
take place :
-
Interview
-
Court hearings
-
Telephone conversations
-
Card games
One very common structure that has
been identified. This is an ordered pair of adjacent utterance spoken by two
different speakers. Once the first utterance is spoken, the second is required.

CA analysis
As in all research, conversational analysis begins by setting up a research
problem. The data collected for CA is in the form of video or audio recorded
conversations. The data is collected without researchers’ involvement, often
simply by adding a video camera to the room where the conversation take place
(e.g. medical doctors consultation with a patient). From the audio or video
recording the researchers construct a detailed transcrpition (ideally) with no
details left out). After transcription, the researchers perform inductive data-driven
analysis aiming to find recurring patterns of interaction. Based on the
analysis, the researchers develop a rule or model to explain the occurence of
the patterns.
Contrasts to other
theories
Contrast to the research inspired by Noam Chomsky, which is based on a
distraction between competence and performence and dismisses the particulars of
actual speech as a degraded from of idealized competence, Conversation Analysis
studies naturally-occuring talk on the assumption that spoken interaction is sytematically
orderly in all its facets (cf. Sacks in Atkinson and Heritage 1984 : 21-27). In
contrast to the theory developed by John Gumperz, CA maintains it is possible
to analyze talk-in-interaction by examining its recordings alone (audio for
telephone, video for copresent interaction). CA researchers do not believe thet
the researcher needs to consult with the talk participants or members of their
speech community.
Application in other fields
In recent years, CA has been employed by reserchers in other fields, such
as feminism and feminist linguistics, or used in complement with other
theories, such as Membership Caregorization Analysis (MCA). Elizabeth Stoke
argues thet ethnomethodology’s egalitarian creed reflects the egalitarian ethos
in feminism. Tradisional feminist concern can be explored from an
ethnomethodological standpoint, since oppression is not a once and for all
phenomenon but the processes involved in defining social reality produces and
reproduces oppression daily. Thus, the gendered properties of social life,
routinely taken-for-granted as natural and transitutional, are best understood
as situated accomplishments of local interactions. MCA was influenced by the
work on Harvey Sacks and his work on Membership Categorization Divice (MCD). Sacks
argues that ‘members’ categories comprise part of the central machinery of
organization and developed the notion of MCD to explain how categories can be
hearably linked together by native speakers of culture. His example that is
taken from a children’s storybook (the baby cried. The mommy picked it up).
Show how “mommy” is interpreted as the mother of the baby by speakers of the
same culture. In light of this, categories are inference rich – a great deal of
knowledge members of a society have about the society is stored in terms of
these categories. Stokoe further contends that members’ practical
categorizations from part of ethnomethodology’s description of the ongoing
production and realizationof ‘facts ‘ about social life and including members’
gendered reality analysis, thus making CA compatible with feminist studies.
Subject indues of
coversation analysis literature
The following is a list of important phenomena identified in the
conversation analysis literature, followed by a brief definition and citations
to articles that examine the named phenomenon either empirically or
theoretically. Articles in which the term for the phenomenon are bold, those
that are otherwise centrally concerned with the phrnomenon are italics, and the
rest are articles that otherwise aim to make a significant contibution to an
understanding of the phenomenon.
This list is incomplete: you can help by expanding it.
TURN – TAKING
A
processed by which interactants allocate the right or obligation to participate
in an interactional activity. (sacks, schegloff, & jefferson, 1974)
REPAIRED
The
machanisms through which certain “troubles” in interaction are dealt with.
(schegloff, jeffereson, & sacks 1977)
PREFERENCE ORGANIZATION
The ways
through which different types of social actions (‘preferred’ vs ‘dispreferred’)
are carried out sequentially. (Pomerantz. 1978. Pomerantz 1984)
CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION
Conversation analysis (commonly abbreviated as CA) is the study of talk in
interaction so the use of the term “conversation” to label this disciplinary
movement is sometimes considered to be misleading.
conversational analysis begins by setting up a research problem. The data
collected for CA is in the form of video or audio recorded conversations
