The geographies of speech has become stuck in a form of interpretation which considers the potentially infinite detail of spoken performances understood within their equally infinitely complex contexts. This paper offers a way forward by considering the uses, critiques and reworkings of J.L. Austin’s speech act theory by those who study everyday talk, by deconstructionists and critical theorists, and by Bruno Latour in his AIME (‘An Inquiry into Modes of Existence’) project. This offers a rethinking of speech acts in terms of power and space, and a series of ontological differentiations between forms of utterances and enunciations beyond human speech.

This study explores the effects of discourse context on a child’s ability to generalize transitively trained novel verbs in an experimental setting and the ability to diversely use intransitive constructions in everyday talk. Two- and three-year-olds participated in novel verb training and play sessions. An effect of discourse context was found; novel verbs were used most often in training, rather than elicitation. Thirty percent of the children generalized a transitively trained novel verb to an intransitive construction. The generalizing children differed from non-generalizers in the proportion with which they used familiar intransitive verbs diversely during play. Thus, the process through which children come to generalize verbs may be influenced by their everyday verb usage on a construction by construction basis.

Abstract Foreign language didactics is committed to teach the variety of language that is actually used in everyday life. In this article, we study possibilities of working with authentic German dialogues in teaching contexts of German as a Foreign Language. By focusing on regional and national varieties of German in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we examine current textbooks that claim to follow a pluricentric approach and show how they deal with the fact that spoken German is not a homogenous variety. The analysis of the teaching material reveals the problems, that working with artificial dialogues entail under a pluricentric perspective, including phonetics, prosody, lexis, grammatical and interactional structures. Thus, we plead for the use of authentic dialogues in order to create awareness for a pluricentric view on language among students of German as a Foreign Language. Especially for learners, who plan to spend time in a German-speaking country, the work with authentic dialogues from a certain geographical region can have a highly motivating effect as they learn to understand native speakers in their everyday talk. To this end, we present a database that provides audio material in the different national varieties of spoken German, which can be used for didactic purposes in the foreign language classroom.SamenvattingDe vreemdetalendidactiek streeft ernaar om die taalvariëteit aan te leren die in het alledaagse leven wordt gebruikt. In dit artikel gaan we na welke mogelijkheden er zijn om met authentieke Duitse dialogen te werken in een onderwijscontext van het Duits als Vreemde Taal. Met een focus op de regionale en nationale variëteiten van het Duits in Duitsland, Oostenrijk en Zwitserland onderzoeken we recente tekstboeken die een pluricentrische benadering beweren te volgen en we laten zien hoe ze omgaan met het feit dat gesproken Duits geen homogene variëteit is. De analyse van het onderwijsmateriaal brengt enkele problemen aan het licht die het werken met artificiële dialogen vanuit een polycentrisch perspectief met zich meebrengt, waaronder fonetiek, prosodie, woordenschat, grammaticale en interactieve structuren. We pleiten dus voor het gebruik van authentieke dialogen om studenten Duits als Vreemde Taal bewust te maken van een pluricentrische kijk op taal. In het bijzonder voor leerders die van plan zijn om enige tijd in een Duitstalig land door te brengen, kan het werken met authentieke dialogen uit een welbepaalde geografische regio bijzonder motiverend zijn omdat ze zo de alledaagse taal van native speakers leren begrijpen. We stellen ook een database voor waar audiomateriaal in verschillende nationale varieteiten van gesproken Duits te vinden is, dat voor didactische doeleinden kan worden gebruikt in de vreemde talenklas.

This brief article discusses the notion of Identity Construction through everyday talk among interlocutors. In particular, this article discusses how I construct and co-construct my identities as a graduate student as I communicate with others. The re-search data used in this article was analysed through the framework of expert-novice constitution, co-construction, and legitimate peripheral participation. The data show their relevance to the notions of expert-novice, co-construction, and legitimate peripheral participation where the interlocutors are actively negotiating their identities as they try to claim their right to speak.
