La quatrième séance de l’édition 2019-2020 du séminaire de l’axe InSitu s’inscrira dans le cadre des journées d’études CLAPI-ELE. En effet, à l’occasion de la venue de Ariel Vázquez, de l’université de Guadalajara (Mexico), une nouvelle séance est organisée.
Intitulé de l’intervention : Buying and selling interactions in a fruit and vegetable shop: their structure and the grammar of requests
The presentation examines naturally occurring buying and selling interaction encounters in a fruit and vegetable shop in Toluca (Mexico). I apply the methodological tools of Conversation Analysis to describe the sequential structure of this type of interactions: as I argue that the core sequential structure of these encounters consists of two base adjacency pairs, buying (requesting–giving a product) and selling (requesting–giving money) (Vázquez Carranza 2017). I then focus on the grammar of requests in these encounters: I explore the notion of positionally sensitive grammar (Schegloff, 1996) which is one of the main principles of investigating grammar in the conversation-analytic paradigm.
