    Orienting to a co-participantā€™s emotion in French L2: A resource to participate in and sustain a conversation
    (Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2016) ;
    This chapter examines emotion displays in second language (L2) dyadic interactions involving an L2 French-speaking au pair and her L1 French-speaking host family. Data are drawn from a corpus of audio-recorded dinnertime talk. The analysis focuses on the ways the au pair displays her orientation to a co-Ā­participantā€™s emotional stance. The study shows that the ability to appropriately display, recognize, and respond to emotions is an important part of L2 interactional competence. Orienting to a co-participantā€™s emotional stances plays a central role in allowing the au pair and her host family to establish ā€œemotional solidarity,ā€ leading to her status as an ā€œinsider,ā€ legitimate interactional partner, and valued member of the family.
