Knowledge (epistemicity) is an important factor in everyday conversation. Conversationalists constantly display what they know or do not know and what they assume their interlocutors to know or not know. Thus, speakers frequently claim to have the right to perform certain actions (e.g. assessing) on the basis of their knowledge. As recipients, may index prior or d/progressed knowledge states. Some even argue that epistemic (i.e. knowledge) imbalances are what occasions a great deal of conversational talk.

In the first half of this seminar, we will review some of the latest conversation analytic research on these issues. Subsequently, we will try to explore some linguistic practices speakers use to display epistemic statuses of our own.



Prerequisites: Basic conversation analytic/interactional linguistic skills are highly recommended.
