Characteristics of Conversational English
1. Non-clausal units in conversational discourse
2. Personal pronouns and ellipsis in conversation
3. Situational ellipsis in conversation4. Non-causal units as elliptic replies in
conversation5. Repetition in conversation6. Lexical bundles in conversational
discourse
![Page 11: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Non-clausal Units in Conversational Discourse
• Non-clausal units utterances without an explicit S or V
• The characteristics : independent / self-standing have no grammatical connection
• Example:A: I love her so much.B: Fanny?A: Yeah …B: Why don’t you say it to her?A: It ‘s not easy, right?B: Why?
Non-clausal Units
![Page 12: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Personal Pronouns and Ellipsis in Conversation
Makes wide use of personal pronouns and ellipsis
Shared context in conversation
Example:Marie : I hope you’re gonna put that
magazine down and give me a bit of hand in a minute.
John : (You want to me to give you a) Bit of a hand with what?
![Page 13: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Situational Ellipsis in Conversation
Situational ellipsis may leaving out words of low informational value
Example:John: We’ve only got room for thirty people here,
maximum, so if you’ve invited thirty-seven and they’re all going to being friends, we haven’t got enough room, have we? Common sense
John: If you wanna have a party here, forty people is the limit. simple as that in conversation
![Page 14: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Non-causal Units as Elliptic Replies in
Conversation Often occur in conversational discourse To make the conversation shorter and
simpler Example:
A: I’m gonna stay in Jakarta for 2 months.B: why?
(Why do you stay in Jakarta for 2 months?)
![Page 15: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Repetition in Conversation
Purposes to give added emphasis to a point in a conversation
Example: Repetition to give emphasis in agreement conversation
A: We have no more assignment, I think.B: No, we have one more assignment.C: No, we have more than one assignment. A: Really?C: Yes, we have more than one assignment.
![Page 16: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lexical Bundles in Conversational
Discourse Lexical Bundles formulaic mutli-word
sequences such as, It’s going to be, If you want to, You know, etc.
Example:E: Perhaps, we should do it know. Ummm, you know, it would takes two or three hours.
![Page 17: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Performance and phenomena of conversational discourse
Silent and filled pauses in conversationexample :
Marie : You are being .... A sixteen-year-old twit. Sit down and write down your guests
Utterance launcers and filled pausesexample :Ryan : And... Can I have your phone number too, so I can
call you tonight?
Jono : How does his new girlfriend looks, is she pretty?Maria : Well, at least she is better than the previous one,
she is stylish.Jono : Right,a metrosexual man like James must have a
stylish girlfriend.

Attention signals in conversation Example : Meike : John? John : yeah what?
Response elicitors in conversation Example : Marry : I’ve heard that you are an HIV AIDS
sufferer, is that true?
James : A bedroom with a sweet pink painted wall. Who do you think I am Mum? A girl?
![Page 19: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Non Clausal items as response forms Example : Marie : The DJ, why d’you have to have a
DJ? What does he do? Just plays records all night?
Ryan : Yeah.
Extended co-ordination of clauses Example : Ryan : we’ll leave the gate open. We’ll
leave the pontoon there, and you’ll see just see. You...think I’m so stupid. But if you...look around and open your eyes, you’ll see.

Constructional principles of conversational
discourse There are three key principles in the
production of conversational discourse1. Keep talking2. Limited planning ahead3. Qualification of what has been said
![Page 21: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prefaces in conversation an uterance which connects what they have to say to the previous utterances as well as giving the speaker time to plan what they will say next. e.g. The DJ, why d’you have to have a DJ?
![Page 22: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tags in conversation Speakers add tags in many ways as an afterthought to a grammatical unit in conversational discourse. e.g.
1.)Marie: Well, there’s not going to be any trouble.
John: Well, Ryan seems to think there is. Ryan: Oh yeah, there’s gonna be gang
warfare in my backyard, is there?
2.) You can cut it now, right this minute.

Corpus Studies of the Social Nature of
Discourse Consider discourse means in wider
social terms. Using MICASE corpus. Study of the generic structure of
second language taken from students’ dissertation acknowledgements. (Hyland, 2004)
![Page 24: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Collocation and corpus studies
Corpus studies have also been used to examine collocations in spoken and written disourse.
Hyland and Tse’s (2004) study of dissertation acknowledgements:They found:Collocation of SPECIAL THANKS then followed by SINCERE THANKS AND DEEP THANKSThey found it by searching their corpus to see how the writers typically expressed gratitude.
Then, what items typically occur to the left of the item ‘thanks’.

Ooi (2001) carried out a corpus based-study of the language of personal ads on Internet sites in the US and in Singapore. He used the concordance program WordSmith Tool to examine word frequency and lexical and grammatical collocations in his example texts.
He found: many US writes used the terms ‘attractive’ and ‘great’ as descriptive devices while Singaporean writers largely did not.The verb ‘looking for’ commonly collocated with the writer’s ‘hope and dream’.

Bruthiaux (1994) carried out a corpus based-study of the language of ads in personal columns in the LA Weekly.
He found:The writers frequently used personal chaining and hyphenated items in personal advertisements strings of adjectives and nouns.Personal chaining : artistic, athletic, adorable 20-30 year oldhyphenated items: good-looking

Criticisms of Corpus Studies
Flowerdew (2005) provides a summary of criticisms. Some of them:
Computer-based orientation of corpus studies leads to atomized, bottom-up investigations of language use
Corpus studies do not take account of contextual aspects of texts
![Page 29: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Meanwhile, Tribble (2002) argues that understanding language use includes understanding social and contextual knowledge, not just knowledge of the language system.

![Page 30: Andita Pribana Dewi (0800021) Annisa Aga (0807540) Dinnawaty Annisa P (0809076) Herlin Octaviani (0807535) Meike Triyurinda (0807534) Mufti](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/551b1cc955034607418b58bd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
One way of gaining contextual information for an analysis is by the use of interviews and focus group discussions with users. The analysis can also be combined with other contextual information available on the data and other information that is available on the data.
A further approach is to read more widely on the topic of the discourse.
For what?
To help offset the argument that corpus studies are decontextualized and only of interest at the item, rather than the discourse level.
