Download or read book Language in Time written by Peter Auer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors here promote the reintroduction of temporality into the description and analysis of spoken interaction. They argue that spoken words are, in fact, temporal objects and that unless linguists consider how they are delivered within the context of time, they will not capture the full meaning of situated language use. Their approach is rigorously empirical, with analyses of English, German, and Italian rhythm, all grounded in sequences of actual talk-in-interaction.
