Abstract

Various media forms and genres offer new modes of communication, necessitating modifications in the participation framework underlying interactions. The classic dyadic (speaker-writer) model of communication appears to be obsolescent in reference to the diversified communicative genres, whether private or public, facilitated by the media and technology. The workshop addresses the following topics: (1) participation framework and participation in traditional media discourses (e.g. televised/film/radio discourse) and other public discourses, whether or not mediatised, and (2) the nature of interaction and conversation in novel discourses related to computer-mediated communication (e.g. social media such as Facebook and Twitter, instant messaging and chat, blogs, or new forms of online journalism). More specifically, the following issues are addresssed: fictional, scripted and natural conversation; the status of TV viewers; linguistic traces of (un)ratifies participants beyond the dyad; and (mis)comprehension of meaning within/beyond the dyad. The seminar combines various analytic perspectives, including pragmatics of interaction, conversation and discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and multimodality.

Abstract (in Czech)

Nové formy a žánry médií umožňují nové způsoby komunikace a vedou k nutnosti upravit tradiční parcipační rámce popisující komunikační interakci mezi účastníky. Klasický dvojitý model komunikace je u moderních forem komunikace zastaralý. Seminář se zaměřil na rozbor následující problematiky: (1) participační rámce v tradičních masmédiích (TV, film, rozhlas) a jiných veřejných formách komunikace, a (2) interakce a konverzace v nových diskurzech vzniklých v souvislosti s elektronicky zprostředkovávanou komunikací (např. Facebook, Twitter, chaty, blogy, online žurnalistika, atd.).
