- Title
Collaborating on Context: Invoking Alluded-to Shared Knowledge.
- Authors
Nofsinger, Robert E.
- Abstract
Analysis of a segment of conversation in which one participant repairs the broken-off utterance of another indicates that utterance design and sequential placement play key roles in this accomplishment. The participants collaboratively produce a display of shared knowledge through the use of conversational practices that do not include explicit reference to, or even passing mention of, the item of knowledge. Knowledge shared by the participants is merely alluded to, but participants are able to access it using routine conversational practices. Context is argued to be an ongoing achievement of such practices of utterance design and sequential placement.
