Gaze as a Resource for Productive Signs in Interaction
Category Project
Ausgangslage und Ziele
In interactions, when productive forms are used, the signer has not only to produce the appropriate linguistic form but has additional interactional tasks – for example, of managing turn-taking or monitoring co-participant’s displays of (non-) understanding. For these tasks, the participants’ gaze is a primary resource. This complex use of gaze in conversations for both grammatical and interactional purposes has not yet been systematically examined due to the monologic nature of previous studies of productive signs (noteworthy exceptions are Cuxac, 2000 and Sallandre, 2002 for French Sign Language, LSF). To what extent productive forms are actually produced in interactions is an open question, as most previous studies of productive signs have been based on elicited and monologic data.
