From the author:
The goal of this book is to examine some of the resources that speakers employ
when building conversations. These resources contribute to overall coherence
and cohesion, constructed interactively as speakers build on each other’s contributions.
The book furthers the study of coherence at all levels, from surface
structure to internal organization. Typical dialogues are considered to be coherent
by those participating, and often by those observing as well. However, it
is difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes a dialogue or a conversation coherent,
and how that coherence is achieved dynamically. Similarly, cohesion, as an
internal property of togetherness in a text, is usually considered to be present in
conversation. Coherence and cohesion together give us texts and conversations
that we recognize as such.
In this book, I present a study of coherence and cohesion. The study is cross
linguistic, based on a corpus of task-oriented conversations between dyads
of two speakers each. The corpus contains conversations between two native
speakers of English on the one hand, and two native speakers of Spanish on the
other. The interlocutors have conflicting agendas that cover a two to four week
period; their task is to agree on an appointment within that time. The conversations
are viewed as collaborative efforts, yielding texts built interactively by
the speakers. My analysis is concerned with the discourse characteristics that
make the dialogues hold together as texts. ..
