Abstrakt(y)
This paper uses a short conversational excerpt to illustrate some of the ways in which the study of ordinary discourse can be not only scientifically but also aesthetically rewarding. The discussion focuses on two considerations of special importance. One is the flow of discourse topics, the other the flow of emotions. I show how conversations are structured around the flow of topics and subtopics, with the briefest segments, prosodic phrases, expressing momentary foci of consciousness. I point to the fact that the boundaries of sentences are inserted "on the run" as people talk, providing evidence that sentences are not direct reflections of cognitively stable units. I then show how emotions may ebb and flow as conversations proceed, and I devote special attention to the feeling of nonseriousness that is expressed with laughter.
