Abstract

Most analyses of discourse pragmatics assume a
quiet setting that does not affect the
interaction. This study examines two common,
communicationally hostile environmental contexts
that make demands on the perceptual, cognitive,
and pragmatic dimensions of language and
multimodal communication. It identifies
strategies which discourse participants use to
recover the information lost or degraded in noisy
conversational interaction, and the repairs and
conversational strategies they use if they
recognize that communication has failed. We
recorded the conversational discourse interaction
of 6 normally-hearing adults in a restaurant
setting and 24 normally-hearing children in
elementary-school classrooms, using ear-level
binaural microphones, head-mounted bullet
cameras, and tripod-mounted video cameras. This
yielded extensive audiotape and videotape data
from the perspectives of individual listeners and
speakers, and information about the interaction
among participants. Our data indicate that the
strategies employed in these settings are similar
to those employed by people who are
hard-of-hearing, and that usage-based linguistic
theories and cognitivist theories of language
processing, interaction, and pragmatics, that
ignore language perception, are inadequate.
