Abstract
Silence is commonly observed in multicultural group work (MGW) and classrooms, and silent students are often labelled with culture or language-related evaluation. This study explores how silences work in online MGW with a focus on turn-taking and sequence organisation. Drawing on data derived from naturally occurring interactions, the study examines how silences are repaired, managed and manipulated as locally derived interactional events. Findings suggest that silences in MGW are relevant to various local contingencies at an interactional level and can be employed by the speakers as a resource for specific interactional purposes.
沉默是多文化小组活动和课堂中的常见现象,被视为沉默的学生经常会被贴上与文化或语言相关的标签。作者结合话轮转换和序列组织的理论, 探索了线上多文化小组中的沉默现象。基于自然产生的对话环境,本研究考察了沉默作为对话中的局部事件是如何被化解,处理以及操纵的。结果显示多文化小组中的沉默与对话中的多种偶发因素相关,并且可以作为一种资源为对话者所用,以实现一系列具体的对话目的。
