課程簡介Course Description

本課程旨在探討社會互動的理論、研究方法和實證研究,主要著重在會話分析作為一種研究方法在互動研究中的使用,前半學期介紹日常對話的基本結構,後半學期則深入探討會話結構和社會現象之間的關聯從第二週起,每週的課程前半由教師授課介紹相關理論和研究,後半以Data session的形式進行,讓學生實際分析真實的社會互動資料。

The organization of social interaction is a fundamental form of social life. This course provides an overview of the theory of social interaction and an introduction to Conversation Analysis, a methodology for a systematic approach to the study of interaction. In this course, we examine naturalistic video recordings and transcriptions of interactional episodes. The first half of this course focuses on ordinary conversation, the basic form of organization for talk-in-interaction. The second half of this course shifts gears to talk in institutional settings, as interaction may be conceptualized as a form of social organization through which the work of most, if not all, the major institutions of societies (e.g., the polity, the family, socialization, and healthcare) gets done. Class meetings will be structured as lectures and data sessions. Students will acquire hands-on experience in analyzing interactional data.

    評量工具與策略、評分標準成效Evaluation Criteria

    課堂參與(10%): Just being present is not enough. You will need to actively participate in data sessions to earn this part of your grade.

    逐字稿作業(10%): The aim of this exercise is to help you develop an understanding of the transcription conventions we will be using in this course. Most of the data we'll be working with in lectures and readings, and in your own exercises, are transcripts of interactional episodes. It is important that you learn to recognize what a transcript shows to have actually happened in a conversation. One very effective way of acquiring this knowledge is by actually transcribing a segment of conversation. 

    分析作業(30%): You will write two analytic assignments, each worth 15% of your grade. For each assignment, you will be given a video clip and a transcript of that segment of interaction along with a writing prompt on how you should analyze the data.  More details of these assignments will be discussed in class. No late assignments will be accepted.

    期末報告(50%): For the final project, you will collect a segment of interactional data, transcribe the data according to conversation analysis conventions, and develop an analysis of a phenomenon that you observe in that segment. More details will be discussed in class. No late submission will be accepted.
