Profissionais do Direito, nesse caso, são um juiz, uma juíza, três promotores e nove advogados de defesa. Os dados constituem 59 interrogatórios gravados em áudio realizados no fórum de uma cidade da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. A coleta foi conduzida entre agosto e novembro de 2008. Dos interrogatórios analisados, 31 foram presididos por um juiz e 28 por uma juíza. Dos interrogatórios presididos pelo juiz, 27 aconteceram em audiências de instrução e quatro em audiências do Tribunal do Júri. Todos os interrogatórios presididos pela juíza aconteceram em audiências de instrução. A discussão possui dois focos analíticos. O primeiro foco analítico debruça-se sobre as ações interacionais que os profissionais do Direito realizaram por meio do uso de referentes pessoais e de lugar, a saber: a) cruzar as versões providas por diferentes depoentes acerca do mesmo crime; b) retroalimentar o interrogatório por meio de perguntas que demandam a identificação de terceiras pessoas; c) lidar com a intersubjetividade (HERITAGE, 1984) dos coparticipantes em situações nas quais a base comum de reconhecimento acerca de "quem é quem" e de "como é o local" mostra-se comprometida. O segundo foco analítico concentra-se nas ações interacionais empreendidas pelos participantes profissionais via formulação, quais sejam: a) checar entendimento de forma a atender a agenda institucional que prevê o registro das informações providas pelos depoentes; b) gerenciar a agenda profissional por meio do movimento interacional de fechar um tópico e abrir outro de forma a cobrir os assuntos relevantes para o interrogatório em curso; c) confrontar as versões providas pelos depoentes; d) incitar o depoente a vocalizar alguma informação que se mostra relevante para o processo de forma que o dito se torne documentável de acordo com os procedimentos requeridos pela instituição; e) preencher o termo referencial mencionado, mas não explicitado, pelo depoente. Ainda com relação ao uso de formulações, a análise das interações revela que os participantes profissionais distribuem as formulações ao longo do interrogatório em dois formatos, a saber: a) uma série de formulações que desencadeia uma formulação "ulterior" e b) uma formulação disposta após uma "suposta" satisfação dada pelo participante profissional. O estudo evidencia que tanto o uso de referentes pessoais e de lugar quanto a prática de formular exercem papéis importantes nas interações de natureza jurídica e se mostram, em algumas ocasiões, essenciais para o andamento do interrogatório e, consequentemente, para o processo jurídico como um todo. / This study, supported by Ethnomethodological (GARFINKEL, 1967) Conversation Analysis theoretical-analytical approach (SACKS; SCHEGLOFF; JEFFERSON, 1974) combined with ethnographic methods (O’REILLY, 2009), focuses on the description of person reference (STIVERS, 2007; STIVERS et al., 2007), place reference (SACKS, 1992; SCHEGLOFF, 1972; PSATHAS, 1991), and formulation usage (SACKS ; GARFINKEL, 1970; HERITAGE, 1995; WALKER, 1995; HERITAGE; WATSON, 1979; DREW, 2003; GAFARANGA; BRITEN, 2004, HUTCHBY, 2005; ANTAKI et al., 2005) b y Law professionals in face-to-face interactions with defendants, victims, and wit nesses in court interrogations. The law professionals who participated in this study are two judges (one male one female), three prosecutors, and nine defense lawyers. The data comprise 59 audio-recorded interrogations which took place in a criminal court located in a metropolitan area in Southern Brazil. Data collection was carried out between August and November of 2008. Of the analyzed interrogations, 31 were chaired by the male judge and 28 were chaired by the female judge. Of the interrogatories presided by the male judge, 27 took place in examining hearings and four in Jury Trials. All of the interrogatories chaired by the female judge took place in examining hearings. The discussion has two analytical focuses. The first one deals with the interactional actions Law professionals achieved through the use of person and place references, which are: a) to cross-examine the versions provided by different deponents related to the same crime; b) to feedback the interrogatory through questions which demand third person identification; c) to deal with coparticipants' intersubjectivity (HERITAGE, 1984) when the shared recognition concerning “who is who” and “what place we are talking about” seems jeopardized. The second analytical focus concentrates on the interactional actions implemented by professional participants via formulation, which are: a) to check understanding as to attend the institutional agenda requirement of recording the pieces of information provided by the deponents; b) to manage the professional agenda through the interactional move of closing a topic and opening other as to cover the relevant subjects for the current interrogatory; c) to confront the deponents’ versions; d) to invite the deponent to vocalize some piece of information which appears relevant to the process in such a way that what has been said becomes recordable according to the procedures required by the institution; e) to fill in the referential term alluded to but not made explicit by the deponent. The interactional analysis also reveals that the distribution format of formulations during the interrogatory takes two different formats: a) a sequence of formulations that culminates in an “ulterior” formulation and b) a formulation displayed after an “alleged” accountability provided by the professional participant. The study makes clear that both the person and place reference usage and the formulation practice play important roles in juridical-type interactions and shows them, on some occasions, to be essential for the interrogatory development and, consequently, for the juridical process as a whole

Essa dissertação analisa interações gravadas em uma central de teleatendimento do Ministério da Saúde, o Disque Saúde. Os dados analisados consistem especificamente em ligações de usuárias mulheres, cujas dúvidas circunscrevem-se à Síndrome da Imuno Deficiência Adquirida (AIDS). Os dados foram transcritos de acordo com as convenções propostas por Jefferson (1984) e analisados através da abordagem teóricometodológica da Análise da Conversa (SACKS, 1992) e da Análise de Categorias de Pertença (SACKS, 1992). Analisamos como e quando as usuárias prestam contas de suas ações, em particular, oferecendo justificativas às/aos atendentes. Propomos uma nova classificação para o estudo desse fenômeno, qual seja justificativas sequencialmente relevantes e justificativas não sequencialmente relevantes. Ambos os tipos de justificativas parecem relacionadas a questões morais; no entanto, realizam ações distintas nas interações. Enquanto as justificativas sequencialmente relevantes prestam contas acerca de: 1) motivo(s) da ligação; 2) dúvidas; e 3) recusas a ofertas de informação feitas pela/o atendente, as não sequencialmente relevantes prestam contas de: 1) meio de contaminação da usuária pelo vírus HIV ou exposição a fatores de risco de contaminação; 2) comportamento sexual da usuária; e 3) estado emocional da usuária. As justificativas não sequencialmente relevantes apontam para moralidade(s) não explicáveis a partir da análise sequencial proposta pela Análise da Conversa; também sugere a realização de “trabalho moral” (DREW, 1998) , bem como negociação de pertencimento a categorias como mulher e esposa e a associação a predicados usualmente associados a essas categorias. Nossos dados tornam evidente que a vulnerabilidade da mulher ao HIV não é apenas biológica (visto que a infecção da mulher pelo homem é mais provável que o oposto), mas também social. Embora a AIDS tenha afetado todas as classes sociais, as mulheres mais pobres são as que têm menos condições de mudar as situações que as colocam sob risco de contágio. / This study is associated to a larger research project interested in understanding how morality and delicacy emerge and are dealt with in and through interaction. In the current study, we analyze recorded interactions at a Brazilian governmental toll free health helpline: Disque Saúde. The data analyzed consist specifically of calls made by females whose questions revolve around Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The data was transcribed according to the conventions proposed by Jefferson (1984) and analyzed by means of Conversation Analysis (SACKS, 1992) and Membership Categorization Analysis (SACKS, 1992; KITZINGER, 2011) approaches. We analyze when and how the callers account for their actions, in particular, when they offer call takers justifications. We propose a new classification for the study of this phenomenon in sequentially relevant and non-sequentially relevant. Even though both types of justifications seem to be related to morality, they perform different actions in the interactions. Whereas the sequentially relevant justifications mostly account for: 1) the reason(s) for the call; 2) doubts; and 3) refusals to information offers made by the call takers, the non-sequentially relevant justifications account for: 1) callers’s means of contamination with HIV virus or exposure to risk factors of contamination; and 2) callers’ sexually related behavior. The nonsequentially relevantant justifications point to morality issues that cannot be explained by the sequential analysis proposed by conversational analytic methods; it also suggests “moral work” (DREW, 1998), as well as a negotiation of belonging to categories such as mother and wife, and the association with predicates which are usually associated to those categories. Our data indicate that the vulnerability of females to HIV is not only biological (as the infection of females by males is more probable than the opposite), but also social. Although AIDS has affected all social classes, the poorest females are those who have less conditions of changing the situations which put them at risk of contamination.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Samuel da Silva.pdf: 1626033 bytes, checksum: ab9b4fe1617e908dd33dab1aa95dfc58 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-25 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The difficulty that writing production represents for most students is present in the discourse of teachers and researchers from the most diverse areas, especially with reference to the writing of the argumentative-essay text, since this is the type of text which is most requested both in high school/university environments and in university entrance exams in Brazil. There are several questions waiting for answers. Why does the linguistic proficiency of the students, who can communicate orally without any problems in their daily lives, decline when they express themselves in the written modality? As writing occurs after the acquisition of the oral modality, the hypothesis that arises naturally is that this decline would result from the transposition of the oral features to the writing ones without the due adjustments that this requires because of the contextual and functional differences that distinguish one of the other. But, after all, what elements exist in face-to-face interaction that differ from those required, for example, by a formal academic text? The purpose of this research is to examine the characteristics of a text of the oral modality - a dialogue between a psychologist and an engineer - as well as texts of the written modality - a model argumentative essay requested from third year high school students in order to verify the interference of the oral modality in the students’ writing. Among the several factors that distinguish the two modalities, this research focuses on the structural unit, involving structures of genre with their stages and purposes and texture structure, covering the lexicogrammatical choices with implications for coherence and cohesion. The research responds to the following questions: (a) in the comparison of the oral modality with the formal written modality, what differences are there regarding genre structure and texture structure? (b) What can this comparison provide for the understanding of the failures committed in a argumentative-essay text of candidates for university entrance exams? The results of the research show that the difficulty of the students in writing the written text may arise from the differences between the modalities, be it in structuring, or in the lexicogrammatical choices. The oral modality syntax presents itself with characteristics specific to it, which must be replace or complemented by wrinting / A dificuldade que a produção escrita representa para a maioria dos estudantes está presente no discurso dos professores e pesquisadores das mais diversas áreas, especialmente com referência à redação do texto dissertativo-argumentativo, visto que é esse o tipo de texto mais solicitado tanto no Ensino Médio e Superior quanto nos exames de vestibulares no Brasil. Há várias perguntas que esperam por respostas. Por que a proficiência linguística do aluno, que se comunica oralmente sem problemas no seu dia a dia, decai quando ele se expressa na modalidade escrita? Como a escrita ocorre após a aquisição da modalidade oral, a hipótese que surge naturalmente e a de que esse declínio decorreria da transposição das características do oral para a escrita sem os ajustes devidos que esta requer, em razão das diferenças contextuais e funcionais que distanciam uma da outra. Mas, afinal, que elementos existem na interação face a face que se diferenciam daqueles exigidos, por exemplo, por um texto acadêmico formal? O objetivo desta pesquisa é o exame das características de um texto da modalidade oral – um diálogo entre uma psicóloga e um engenheiro – e também de textos da modalidade escrita – uma dissertação argumentativa modelo na comparação com três textos dissertativoargumentativos solicitados a alunos de terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, a fim de verificar a interferência da modalidade oral na escrita do aluno. Dentre os vários fatores que distinguem as duas modalidades, esta pesquisa enfoca a unidade de estrutura, envolvendo estrutura de gênero com seus estágios e finalidades e a estrutura de textura, abrangendo as escolhas lexicogramaticais com implicações na coerência e na coesão. A pesquisa responde às seguintes perguntas: (a) na comparação da modalidade oral com a modalidade escrita formal que diferenças há no tocante à estrutura de gênero e à estrutura de textura? (b) o que essa comparação pode proporcionar para a compreensão das falhas cometidas em um texto dissertativo-argumentativo de candidatos a exames vestibulares ? Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que a dificuldade do discente ao redigir o texto escrito pode decorrer das diferenças entre as modalidades, seja na estruturação, seja nas escolhas lexicogramaticais. A sintaxe da modalidade oral apresenta-se com características que lhe são peculiares, as quais devem ser substituídas ou complementadas pela escrita

Pornografi och dess verkningar är ett ämne som varit mer eller mindre aktuellt ända sedan 1960-talet. I huvudsak har två sidor identifierats historiskt: de som är helt emot porrens existens och de som anser att det är upp till individen om den vill konsumera porr eller inte. På senare tid har även röster hörts som försöker nyansera bilden och skapa en diskussion kring ämnet snarare än debatt. Föremålet för den här uppsatsen är en radiointervju med en kvinnlig hardcoreporrskådis. Intervjun sändes i oktober 2018 i programmet Fråga vad du vill i Sveriges Radio P3. Syftet är att undersöka hur porrskådisens identitet konstrueras under intervjun och vilka föreställningar om porrskådisar och porrbranschen som kommer till uttryck under samtalet. En viktig utgångspunkt är att identitet är föränderligt och något vi både bär med oss och skapar i interaktion. Andra viktiga utgångspunkter är hur vi människor använder kategorier för att benämna och identifiera oss, samt radikalfeminismens inställning till pornografi och påverkan på debatten. Central metod för analysen är Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA) som fokuserar på vilka kategorier som görs gällande i en samtalssituation och hur deltagarna förhandlar kring dessa. Resultaten visar att identitetsarbetet troligen påverkas av diskursen som i sin tur styrs av vilka frågor som ställs under intervjun. Det mest framträdande är dock hur samhällets föreställningar om porrskådisar kommer till uttryck och hur dessa styr diskursen. Eftersom intervjuns syfte är att ta reda på hur det är att arbeta som hardcoreporrskådis så formas frågorna utefter den premissen – alltså vad frågeställarna kopplar ihop med pornografi och porrskådisar. Detta i sin tur påverkar vilka sidor av porrskådisen som blir relevanta i just det här samtalet.

Nesta dissertação observo a experiência conversacional dos interagentes nos comentários dos blogs Melhores do Mundo, Interney e Pensar Enlouquece. A organização da conversa nos três ambientes foi feita e representada graficamente para auxílio na observação de como os interagentes conversam nos blogs. Entrevistas com os autores dos blogs e a Análise da Conversação nos comentários de suas postagens serviram de instrumento de análise. A interação mediada por computador foi contrastada com a face a face para se tomar conhecimento das transformações no virtual em relação ao presencial. Os resultados apontam que as práticas dos blogueiros ao lidarem com os comentários interferem na forma como se dá a conversação online nesse ambiente. O controle dos comentários ou a falta dele por parte do blogueiro ora orienta à interação um-um, ora orienta à interação todos-todos. O resultado mostra práticas de como são as conversas nos espaços de comentários desses blogs e oferece indícios para o estudo da conversação online. / On this essay I observe the conversational experience of the interacting on the comments of blogs Melhores do Mundo, Interney and Pensar Enlouquece. The arrangement of the conversation in all three environments was done and represented graphically to help the observation of how he interacting talk on the blogs. Interviews with the blogs' writers and the Conversation Analysis on the comments to their postings served as instruments of analysis. The computer-mediated interaction was contrasted with the face-to-face interaction, in order to acknowledge the transformations in the virtual, in relation to presential. The results point that the practice of the bloggers while dealing with comments interferes on the way the conversation is held in given environment. The control over the comments, or the lack of it by the blogger, sometimes orients to one-to-one interaction, while other times orients to all-to-all interaction. The result shows practices of how the conversations on these blogs' comment areas are, and offers indication to the studies of online conversation.

Este estudo tem por objetivo descrever a estrutura global de entrevistas de primeira vez entre uma psicóloga e usuários de álcool e/ou outras drogas, tomando como recurso os movimentos interacionais e as ações sequenciais neles realizadas, a partir do instrumental teórico-analítico da Análise da Conversa Etnometodológica, com foco nos conceitos de organização seqüencial e de agenda conversacional. O trabalho explora e problematiza o uso da ficha, espécie de roteiro disponibilizado pela instituição, e da agenda da profissional no processo investigativo em curso. Os dados indicaram que a ficha apresenta-se como instrumento de avaliação limitado. A psicóloga, então, necessita ampliar as questões e utilizar recursos sobressalentes para suprir a falta na execução da tarefa proposta. A análise revelou que a disposição dos movimentos interacionais orienta-se fortemente para a avaliação, permitindo-se que se visualize a agenda deste encontro. As entrevistas organizam-se em sete movimentos interacionais: identificar o usuário de álcool e outras drogas, investigar o histórico familiar, constituir a dinâmica da drogadição, etc. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e colaborativa e destina-se a contribuir para a reflexão a respeito da prática profissional psicológica na área da saúde / This study seeks to describe the overall structure of a group of ten first-time interviews between a pshycologist and an alcohol and/or other drugs users, through both the interactional movements and the sequentional actions taken in each movement, based on the theorethical and analytical tools comprised in the Ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis, with a focus on the concepts of sequentional organization and conversational agenda. The research explore and criticizes the use of patients file, a kind of script kept by the institution, and the psychologist `s agenda in the investigative process. The results of this study showed the patients file was presented as a limited instrument of assessment. Then, it is necessary for psychologist to enlarge the issues and use all spare resources to solve the difficult in performing the proposal task. The analysis showed the arrangement of interactional movements are strongly conducted for evaluation, allowing it to visualize the agenda in this interview. The interviews are organized in seven interactional movements: identify the alcohol and others drugs users, investigate the familiar history, constitute the dynamics of the drug addiction, etc. The research is a qualitative and collaborative nature and intends to contribute for a reflection about the psycologist`s professional practice in healthy

Student's verbal participation in science classrooms is an essential element in building the skills necessary for proficiency in scientific literacy and discourse. The myriad of new, multisyllabic vocabulary terms introduced in one year of secondary school biology instruction can overwhelm students and further impede the self-efficacy needed for concise constructions of scientific explanations and arguments. Factors inhibiting students' inclination to answer questions, share ideas and respond to peers in biology classrooms include confidence and self-perceived competence in appropriately speaking the language of science. Providing students with explicit, engaging instruction in methods to develop vocabulary for use in expressing conclusions is critical for expanding comprehension of science concepts. This study fused the recommended strategies for engaging vocabulary instruction with linguistic practices for teaching pronunciation to examine the relationship between a student's ability to pronounce challenging bio-terminology and their propensity to speak in teacher-led, guided classroom discussions. Interviews, surveys, and measurements quantifying and qualifying students' participation in class discussions before and after explicit instruction in pronunciation were used to evaluate the potential of this strategy as an appropriate tool for increasing students' self-efficacy and willingness to engage in biology classroom conversations. The findings of this study showed a significant increase in student verbal participation in classroom discussions after explicit instruction in pronunciation combined with vocabulary literacy strategies. This research also showed an increase in the use of vocabulary words in student comments after the intervention.

This thesis takes a conversation-analytic approach examining the pragmatic functions of the linguistic marker "first (off/of all)" in second-pair-part (i.e., responsive) position relative to questions. Using data from question-answer sequences in the 2015-2016 U.S. Presidential Republican primary debates, I propose six claims regarding the composition, position, and action of what is referred to as the practice of "First"-prefacing. Analysis reveals that "First"-prefacing projects the displacement of a response (conforming or non-conforming) to a question. In projecting the displacement of a response, "First"-prefacing does two things: (1) it projects that the unit(s) of talk to come immediately next will be something other than a response, and thus this "first" matter should not be heard as being designedly "responsive" to the question; and (2) it claims that a conditionally relevant response to the question is forthcoming after the "first" matter is resolved. Debaters largely used "First"-prefacing to temporarily "get out from under" a question's conditional relevancies in order to "reach back" beyond the question and perform actions more properly sequentially fitted to earlier portions of the debate (e.g., defend themselves, make additional comments, counter-criticize other debaters). The more general function of "First"-prefacing as a misplacement marker is discussed, and its existence in ordinary conversation is briefly demonstrated.

<p>Speech intervention for children with language impairment aims to both strengthen specific language skills and to reinforce the ability to participate in interactional contexts. Children with language impairment often have problems in interaction; therefore the contributions of the conversational partner are of great importance. Thus, the demands are high on the speech and language pathologist (SLP) for sense and cohesion in intervention. The aim of the present study was to examine how SLPs and children with language impairment interact in language intervention. An approach influenced by Conversation Analysis was used in order to identify various phenomena that occurred, and their effect on the structure of the interaction was analyzed.</p><p>Four SLPs, two men and two women, were enrolled in the study.  They participated in intervention with two children with language impairment each, i.e. eight conversations. The analysis showed that different forms of feedback and different repair strategies had an impact on the interaction. In addition, it was shown that the interactions contained several situations related to social face work.  Both differences and similarities were found between the participants in the analyzed material. Different interactional patterns of the SLPs appeared to affect the outcome of the intervention in different ways.</p> / <p>Logopedisk intervention för barn med språkstörning har för avsikt att både stärka de specifika språkförmågor som brister och att göra barnet mer redo för kommunikativa sammanhang. Språkstörning hos barn innebär ofta svårigheter i interaktionen med andra, därför är samtalspartnerns agerande av stor betydelse. Således är kraven på logopeden stora för att skapa mening och sammanhållning i interventionen. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka hur logopeder och barn med språkstörning interagerar vid behandling av språkstörning. Ett arbetssätt influerat av Conversation Analysis användes för att belysa olika fenomen som förekom i interaktionen och vilken inverkan dessa hade på interaktionens struktur.</p><p>I studien deltog fyra logopeder, två män och två kvinnor med två behandlingsbesök av barn med språkstörning vardera, således åtta samtal. Intressanta fenomen som förekom var olika typer av återkopplingar, reparationer och ansiktshotande situationer. Det förelåg både skillnader och likheter mellan deltagarna i det analyserade materialet. Logopedernas olika interaktionsmönster förefaller påverka interventionen på olika sätt.</p>

<p>The present study deals with task-oriented conversations between a person with hearing loss and a relative or friend. The purpose was to investigate how the participants in the task-oriented context co-construct understanding, and to focus on different kind of repair strategies that the participants may use to make the hearing loss relevant in the conversation. The method used was Conversation Analysis (CA). The material consisted of eight videotaped task-oriented conversations between a person with hearing loss and their significant other. Altogether eight persons participated in the study – four of them had a hearing loss and the other four had normal hearing. The essay also presents a summary of previous research on communication involving persons with hearing loss. The occurrence and usage of repair strategies was brought to focus as this was of particular interest for this study. It was revealed that quantitative measures of these phenomena previously have been the most commonly used method. The analysis demonstrated that the participants used several different types of repair initiatives during the studied sequences. The categorization was based upon these repair initiatives. The different initiatives were primarily classified according to the manner in whish they specified the nature of the repairable. The study pointed out that the underlying phenomena that were addressed in these sequences were of a complex and various nature. It was proposed that this might demonstrate a need to complement the approaches made earlier in this area with a more qualitative one.</p> / <p>Föreliggande studie behandlar uppgiftsorienterad interaktion mellan en person med hörselnedsättning och dennes anhörig eller vän. Syftet var att undersöka hur deltagarna i den uppgiftsorienterade kontexten samkonstruerar förståelse, och att fokusera på olika reparationssekvenser som deltagarna eventuellt använder för att göra hörselnedsättningen relevant för samtalet. Arbetsmetoden omfattade samtalsanalys i bemärkelsen Conversation Analysis (CA). Materialet bestod av åtta videoinspelningar av uppgiftsorienterade samtal mellan person med hörselnedsättning och anhörig. I studien deltog sammanlagt åtta personer, varav fyra hade hörselnedsättning och fyra var normalhörande. I uppsatsen presenteras även en sammanfattning av tidigare forskning kring kommunikation hos personer med hörselnedsättning. Fokus lades på studier om förekomsten och användandet av reparationsstrategier eftersom dessa var av särskilt intresse för studien. Det visade sig att mer kvantitativa mätmetoder av dessa fenomen tidigare varit det vanligaste tillvägagångssättet. Genom analys av samtalen framkom att deltagarna under aktuella reparationssekvenser använde sig av flera olika typer av reparationsinitiativ. Kategoriseringen i analysen utgick från dessa reparationsinitiativ. Initiativen indelades främst utifrån vilket sätt de preciserade vad som behövde repareras. I studien framkom att de bakomliggande fenomenen som adresserades i dessa reparationer var av komplex och varierande natur. Det föreslogs att detta demonstrerar ett behov av att kunna komplettera de metoder som tidigare använts inom detta forskningsområde med en ett mer kvalitativt synsätt.</p>
