Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course, you will familiarize yourself with conversation analysis (Gesprächsanalyse) as a method. In practical exercises you will learn how to process conversational/interactional data analytically and how to use conversation analysis in empirical projects to address relevant research questions.The course is practice-oriented. **Previous knowledge of transcription and conversation analysis is therefore essential for this advanced course**.In the first part of the course, we will revisit the basic assumptions and categories of conversation analysis. We then look at how to apply these to 'real-world' conversational/interactional data: In practical exercises and under guidance, you will familiarize yourself with the perspective and the analytical techniques of conversation/interaction analysis. We will discuss how to recursively develop research questions off the material based on preliminary analytical findings. The first part of the course concludes with three sessions in which we will engage with additional analytical perspectives (institutional/organizational interactions, narrative structure and positioning, multimodality in interaction).In the second part of the course, you will independently work on a written analysis performed on a piece of conversational/interactional data of your choice. You may use your own data material or data provided by the instructor. You may work on the analysis alone or in a small group.The aim of the PS is to deepen your understanding of conversation analysis as a perspective on interactional data, the development of a repertoire of analytical tools and their practical application.
Assessment and permitted materials
As part of the course, participants will be assessed on four partial performances submitted as parts of a portfolio. In addition to title page, table of contents, a brief introduction as well as a bibliography and, if applicable, a list of figures and/or tables at the end, the portfolio contains the following components:(1) Description of the data material used (10% of the overall assessment)
(2) Sequential analysis (50% of the overall assessment)
(3) Additional analytical focus of your choice – institutional/organizational interactions, narrative structures and positioning or multimodality in the interaction (25% of the overall assessment)
(4) Formulation of research questions based on preliminary findings (15% of the total assessment)Specifics regarding the expected form and content of each of the components will be addressed in the course.
(2) Sequential analysis (50% of the overall assessment)
(3) Additional analytical focus of your choice – institutional/organizational interactions, narrative structures and positioning or multimodality in the interaction (25% of the overall assessment)
(4) Formulation of research questions based on preliminary findings (15% of the total assessment)Specifics regarding the expected form and content of each of the components will be addressed in the course.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
For successful completion of the course, participants have to submit a full written portfolio (containing all four components as well as the structural framing described above) in which all four partial performances must at least be positively assessed.Attendance is compulsory. Two unexcused absences are permitted.
Examination topics
Portfolio as a practical application of the techniques studied: written presentation of a detailed analysis of a piece of conversational data, i.e. description of the data material, sequential analysis, additional analysis with a self-selected focus (institutional/organizational interactions, narrative structures and positioning or multimodality in the interaction), formulation of potential research questions based on the initial findings from the analysis performed.NOTE: Basic knowledge of transcription and conversation analysis is required without exception!
Reading list
The readings as well as further recommended literature are provided to participants via Moodle at the beginning of the semester.
