Learning outcomes

The topic of this lecture is Conversational analysis and dialogue analysis. The lecture focuses on the foundations of Gesprächsanalyse, the analysis of conversation within interactional linguistics. Students are introduced to the core principles of structured communication, including sequence organization, turntaking mechanisms, and the linguistic means through which social interaction is created and maintained. The course presents essential analytical tools, demonstrates work with authentic conversational data, and explores how spoken interaction varies across different contexts. Its aim is to develop the ability to interpret spoken discourse in detail and understand its social functions.
The resulting competence in the field of Conversation Analysis consists in the student's ability to describe and explain the fundamental theoretical concepts of conversation analysis, apply analytical procedures to authentic spoken interaction data, identify and characterize sequential structures, turntaking rules, and repair mechanisms, interpret linguistic resources in terms of their interactional and social functions, analyze different types of conversations across diverse communicative contexts, and present a selected phenomenon of conversation analysis on the basis of secondary literature and their own analytical observations.
