Indhold

Fokus på kurset i dette semester er hvordan vurderende ytringer anvendes i interaktion . Samtaler er fulde af vurderinger og vi vil undersøge hvad disse ytringer gør og hvorfor de øjensynlig er så centrale for samtaledeltagere. Med udgangspunkt i en grundlæggende forståelse af interaktion vil vi undersøge vurderingsaktiviteter i optagelser af naturligt forekommende interaktion.

Kurset starter med en metodologisk introduktion, der skal sikre at alle har fælles udgangspunkt. Samtidig med denne introduktion indsamler studerende optagelser af samtaler og transskriberer (dele af) dem. Disse optagelser vil - sammen med allerede optagne og transskriberede data - danne grundlag for studiet af vurderende ytringer. Studerende vil fokusere på vurderinger i udvalgte interaktionelle omgivelser, såsom historiefortællinger, problemfortællinger, beklagelser, komplimenter, informationssøgning m.m.

Faglige forudsætninger

Grundlæggende kendskab til interaktionsanalyse, svarende til et BA-kursus i Sprog i brug - samtaleanalyse, Samtaleanalyse el.lign. Studerende som ikke er sikre på om de opfylder disse forudsætninger, bedes henvende sig til underviseren.

Undervisnings- og arbejdsform

Studieordning og bedømmelse


Kandidatuddannelsen i lingvistik

  • Hj.opg., bedømt efter 7-skala med ekstern censur


The student submits a portfolio consisting of three separate papers, each analyzing interactional data. The first two papers are based on assignments completed during the course; these papers must be produced individually. The third paper is based on a topic that is chosen in agreement with the lecturer and can also be done as a group assignment. In the case of a group assignment, the product should (i) result in a coherent text and (ii) allow for individual assessment, i.e. it must be clearly indicated which section(s) each individual student has contributed to the whole (excluding the introduction, conclusion and list of references). Maximally three students can take part in a group assignment. The portfolio must include an account of data collection and use, and it must demonstrate knowledge and use of relevant research literature.

Scope: The two first papers: max. 5 pages (all included, except the front page with exam details, the title page, the table of contents and the list of references).  The third paper: max. 10 pages (all included, except the front page with exam details, the title page, the table of contents and the list of references).

Group assignment: max. 8 pages per individual (excluding: front page with exam details, title page, table of contents, introduction, conclusion and list of references); the introduction and the conclusion (combined) should not be longer than 4 pages.
