"That sprawling marvel we call a 'continuing state of incipient talk'"

Résumé

The concept of “continuing state of incipient talk” (CSIT) is widely used in CA and, in a more general way, in interactional studies (Berger 2012:150), while rarely studied as an object in its own right. A basic and common acceptance of the CSIT is the fact that when people share a space while they are not involved in maintaining any type of ecological huddle (Goodwin & Goodwin 2012:258) talk can start and vanish (within lapses) without opening and closing sequences (Schegloff & Sacks [1973] 1974 : 262), but instead, “adjourments” (ibid.) or “fits and starts” (Schegloff 2007:26). Drawing from a corpus of video-recorded french interactions during long car-sharing journeys, I propose in my paper to contribute to the study of CSIT identifying such phenomenons aformentioned. Through the analysis of several short interactional episodes, I firstly show what can be such adjournments techniques, accomplished as an accountable and multimodal phenomenon within the car. Then, we look at how participants can define a share an understanding of a frontier between moments of talk and moments of silence from the TTS point of view. This research leads us to consider that there is not so much difference between adjournments and (pre-)closing sequences, as between ‘conversation as a single unit’ and the CSIT.
