Isi artikel

Two approaches to the problem of interpreting utterances are sketched: a structural account at the levels of sentence and speech act, and an interactional account of their functions and consequences as constitutive of the social order in which they occur. For the problem of utterance interpretation, linguistic analyses can srecify potential meanings and functions, but cannot indicate actual interpretatiuns to which conversationalists are oriented. Linguistic analysis alone renders an account that is propositionally ambiguous, functionally equivocal, and interactionally indetcrminate. In order to account for how talk becomes determinate for conversationalists, a pragmatically-based interac.tional approach is offered. A segm~nt of actual conversation that occurred during a first-grade lesson is analysed here, with focus on a description of the contexts in terms of which talk is understood. One utterance in particular, characterized as a PRAGMATIC COUNTERF ACTUAL, is discussed at length as a unique product of an interactional account of conversation. *
