    “Hahaha”: Laughter as a resource to manage WhatsApp conversations
    (2017-1-25)

    This study deals with the interactional achievement of laughter in WhatsApp conversations. We aim to describe how texters mobilize “transcribed” laughter (i.e. hahaha), and to what extent laughter is a resource for managing the interactional contingencies linked to the asynchronous nature of the written conversations in which participants are engaged. Using both a conversation analytic approach and quantification, we analyzed 43 WhatsApp conversations collected in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. By focusing on the position of laughter in a message, its sequential position, and the management of turn allocation before and after a message that contains laugh particles, we show that participants recurrently produce volunteered and unilateral laughs combined with assessments as responsive actions. However, depending on the position of laughter in the message and its sequential organization, participants orient to different courses of action. The first pattern includes standalone unilateral laughter (i.e. the message is composed only of laugh particles) that is followed by another message by the same speaker, in which he/she produces an assessment, leading to sequence closing and topic termination. In the second pattern, the speaker laughs in turn-initial position before producing an assessment in the same message; in this case, the next message is performed by the partner, providing him/her with the opportunity to prolong the ongoing topic. Laughter is thus a powerful resource in that it allows participants to orient to interactional moments that are particularly delicate to manage, especially in asynchronous conversations: message-taking and sequence closing/topic termination. Laughter thus opens a window onto how participants display expertise in the management of WhatsApp conversations. Given the impact that asynchronous exchanges may have in social life, the ability to exhibit an identity of “doing being” an expert of new communication technologies appears to be a key competence that deserves further investigation.

    Le pouvoir des rires: des interactions en face à face aux conversations par texto
    (2018)
    Petitjean, Cécile 
    This article focuses on the interactional achievement of laughter by providing an overview of the studies we carried out on various types of settings, including institutional interactions and text-based conversations. Using a conversation analytic approach (Sacks et al. 1974), we shed light on how participants finely and systematically mobilize laughter in order to jointly achieve specific social actions such as softening corrections, producing requests or managing topic trajectories. We also show that participants recurrently laugh so as to manage the interactional troubles emerging from the ongoing talk, both in institutional and online settings. By revealing to what extent participants manage to adapt their laughing procedures to the situational and technical contingencies of the interaction in which they are involved, this article aims to promote laughter as a central part of participant's interactional competences.

    Représentations linguistiques et plurilinguisme

    La notion de représentation linguistique (RL) constitue aujourd’hui un enjeu théorique majeur en sociolinguistique. En effet, si l’on s’est prioritairement intéressé, dans ce domaine, à la dimension variationnelle des productions langagières, on a également pu constater que l’analyse des dynamiques linguistiques ne pouvait reposer sur la seule prise en compte des pratiques : les savoirs sociaux partagés dont les locuteurs disposent quant à leur langue jouent également un rôle déterminant dans la manière dont un groupe parvient à gérer l’hétérogénéité de son espace linguistique. L’objectif de ce travail est donc dans un premier temps de proposer une approche spécifiquement sociolinguistique des RL, et ce aux niveaux théorique et méthodologique : qu’est ce qu’une RL, comment l’observer et la décrire ? En s’intéressant aux représentations du plurilinguisme de deux communautés périphériques francophones, nous verrons s’il existe des variations aux niveaux de la forme et/ou du contenu représentationnels, et, si oui, s’il est possible de dévoiler les contraintes sociales sous-jacentes à ces variations. Nous nous centrerons plus spécifiquement sur le versant institutionnel de la gestion de l’espace linguistique, à savoir le type de politique linguistique : peut-il influencer les RL de la communauté au sein de laquelle il est défini ? Inversement, est-ce que les RL peuvent avoir un effet sur l’efficience d’une politique linguistique ? Si l’étude qui est présentée ici constitue une recherche fondamentale sur le fonctionnement des RL, elle dispose donc également d’une dimension appliquée, en cela qu’elle est susceptible d’engendrer des résultats pouvant éclairer les choix décisionnels réalisés dans le cadre d’une politique publique des langues., To date, the notion of Language Representation (LR) represents a major theoretical challenge for sociolinguistics. Though the prime focus in the domain has been on the variational dimension of language productions, it has also been observed that the analysis of language dynamics can not be limited to the study of language practice: the shared social knowledge that speakers have about their mother tongue is essential for the way a given social group deals with the heterogeneous nature of its language environment. The work undertaken in this realm proposes to specifically approach LR from a sociolinguistic point of view, both on theoretical and methodological grounds: what is LR? How can it be observed and described? Based on a study of the representation of multilingualism in two peripheral French-speaking communities, we will investigate the representational variations in form and content as well as the constraints which underlie these variations. We will more specifically focus on the institutional side of the management of a language environment, in terms of type of language policy: can a given type of policy affect a community's LR? Conversely, can the efficiency of a given language policy be affected by LR? While this study aspires to be part of fundamental research into the functioning of language representations, it also has an applied side, in that it generates results which may contribute to shed some light on the decisional choices made in the context of public language policies.
