ENGLISH AS A LINGUA FRANCA CONVERSATION WHILE WATCHING TV: OTHERING THROUGH EXPERTISE
Sosyo-etkileşimsel açıdan yapılan Ortak Dil olarak İngilizce çalışmaları konuşmacıların etkileşimdeki konuşmalarında yer alan "yerleşik kimliklerini" (Zimmerman, 1998) aydınlatan ince hareketlerini açıklamıştır. Bu çalışmaların çoğu konuşmacıların etnik kökenleriyle, milliyetleriyle ya da birinci veya ikinci dilleriyle ilişkili kimlikleri üzerinde odaklanmıştır. Yine de, Ortak Dil olarak İngilizce konuşmalarında insanların edinebilecekleri diğer çeşitli kimlikler hakkında ve bu kimliklerin etkileşimi nasıl etkileyebileceği hakkında az miktarda araştırma bulunmaktadır. Araştırma metodu olarak konuşma çözümlemesinden ve üyelik sınıflandırmasından yararlanarak, bu tek durum analizi bir üniversite yurdunda beş kadının televizyon izlerken yaşadıkları Ortak Dil olarak İngilizce etkileşimlerini incelemektedir. Çözümlemede, katılımcıların sadece dilbilimsel bilgileriyle ilgili değil aynı zamanda da televizyonda gösterilen konu (beysbol) hakkındaki bilgileriyle ilgili olan uzman-acemi kimlikler edindikleri bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, önceki araştırmaların aksine, Ortak Dil olarak İngilizce konuşmalarının her zaman işbirlikçi ve destekleyici olmadığı bulunmuştur. Televizyon sadece konuşma konusunu değil aynı zamanda da gruptaki katılımcıların konumlanmasını etkilemiştir ki bu da etkileşim boyunca bir katılımcının 'başkalaştırılması' (Spivak, 1998) ile sonuçlanmıştır.
English as a lingua franca studies (ELF) from a socio-interactional perspective have illustrated the subtle actions of interlocutors that highlight their "situated identities" (Zimmerman, 1998) in talk-inintearaction. Many of these studies have focused on speakers' identites associated with ethnicity, nationality, or their first or second language. Nevertheless, little research exists regarding the numerous other identities people may adopt during ELF conversations, and how those identities may affect the interaction. Furthermore, the influence of an ongoing media (television) reception on such identities has not been investigated. Therefore, utilizing conversation analysis and membership categorization as a method of inquiry, this single case analysis investigates ELF interactions at a women's dormitory for university students while five women were watching television. Through the analysis, participants were found to be orienting to expert-novice identities regarding not only their linguistic knowledge but also their knowledge of the topic shown on television, baseball. Furthermore, contrary to previous research, it was found that ELF conversations are not always cooperative and supportive. The television affected not only the conversation topic but also the positioning of the participants in the group, resulting in the "othering" (Spivak, 1998) of a particular participant through the interaction.
