Das Frage-Antwort-Sequenzmuster in Unterrichtsgesprächen

More about the book

This study looks at linguistic interaction between teachers and pupils. The central concerns are to determine how the question-answer sequence pattern in classroom exchanges is constituted and what role it plays. To this end the theory and methodology of dialogue grammar are drawn upon. In this approach dialogue grammar is not merely applied as it stands to the bilingual classroom exchange, the attempt is also made to close the gaps which it displays. Thus the study pursues two central aims: examining how classroom exchanges can be appropriately described and analyzed, and verifying the potential of dialogue grammar and developing it further.
