Sighing in Interaction: Somatic, Semiotic, and Social

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Participants in interaction routinely orient to gaze, bodily comportment, and nonlexical vocalizations as salient for developing an analysis of the unfolding course of action. In this article, I address the respiratory phenomenon of sighing, the aim being to describe sighing as a situated practice that contributes to the achievement of particular actions in interaction. I report on the various actions sighs implement or construct and how their positioning and delivery informs participants' understandings of their significance for interaction. Data are in American English. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
