Speech manipulation in a multi-party interactive field

Abstract

This paper attempts to demonstrate the role of side participants and bystanders in co-constructing the multiparty and multi-modal interactive field of speech manipulation, where the corresponding senses emerge in the interactive effort of all participants. Types of participation frameworks are considered; ways of participants’ building on the common ground and the resources of the English language which are engaged in this process are brought to light (the anaphoric reference to some previously specified objects, code words, descriptive phrases, etc.).
