    Functional diversification and progressive routinization of a Multiword Expression in and for social interaction: A longitudinal L2 study
    In this article, we bring together conversation analysis and usage-based linguistics to investigate the second language (L2) developmental trajectory of a linguistic construction within the complex multimodal ecology of naturally occurring social interaction. We document how, over the course of 15 months, an L2 speaker's use of the French multiword expression comment on dit [how do you say] diversifies in both form and function. Two types of longitudinal change are observed: (a) The expression expands in its context of use: “Literal” uses are observed initially to request a candidate lexical item but are later also found in requests for confirmation, (b) these literal uses become proportionally less frequent, and the expression progressively routinizes as a marker-like element used for indexing cognitive search and floor-holding, and eventually also as a preface to self-correction. This routinization entails erosion in form and meaning, in concert with systematic change in co-occurring bodily-visual conduct, in particular gaze and gesture. By documenting change over time in the functional use and the multimodal delivery of the target construction, the findings evidence the longitudinal development of L2 grammar-for-interaction and showcase how linguistic and bodily resources may interface in L2 development. They also have important implications for language teaching and learning.

    Multimodal word-search trajectories in L2 interaction: The use of gesture and how it changes over time
    This paper investigates the temporal dynamics of bodily and vocal conduct in the course of L2 word searches. Based on a longitudinal dataset of L2 French conversations, we first identify a recurrent multimodal search-trajectory involving specific simultaneous and successive assemblies of hand movements/holds with gaze, and (para)verbal displays of ongoing search. We interpret these Gestalt-like trajectories as part of methodic practices through which speakers both account for breaks in progressivity and display their search as “solitary”, preempting recipient’s entry into the turn-in-progress. We then put our findings into a longitudinal perspective, showing how features of these assemblies change over time in the developmental trajectories of L2 speakers.

    Le développement de la compétence d'interaction en langue seconde : état des lieux et illustrations empiriques
    Cet article interroge la nature et le développement de la compétence d’interaction en L2. Nous présentons d’abord un aperçu historique des évolutions qu’ont connues les recherches sur l’acquisition des L2 depuis l’émergence de la notion de compétence de communication jusqu’à l’intérêt actuel pour la compétence d’interaction, et nous discutons les principaux résultats des recherches en Analyse Conversationnelle sur le développement de la compétence d’interaction. Au travers de deux études empiriques sur les directives et l’humour en L2, nous montrons ensuite que le développement de la compétence d’interaction en L2 implique une diversification des ’méthodes’ interactionnelles mobilisées par les locuteurs pour accomplir des actions sociales, leur permettant de mieux adapter leurs conduites aux interlocuteurs et aux contingences situationnelles.
