Episode 10 - Emotion at Work in Everyday Talk

Since I decided to start the podcast I wanted to get this guest on the series. Jessica Robles is the co-author of one of my most thumbed books (details below) and someone I have interacted with on Twitter for a while.  How we interact is a fascinating thing to me and in this episode, on Everyday Talk we get into:

• Does emotion shape talk or does talk shape emotion?
• Pragmatic Markers - how speakers indicate things to each other, e.g. turn-taking
• Politeness rules - the ways we adapt communication to be considerate of others
• The floor - what you have when speaking
• News announcements - when people share news in talk
• Face - parts of your identity that you negotiate in interaction
• Turn-taking - how conversation passes from one to another
• Repairs - when you fix misunderstandings in talk
• Deception - how we can deceive in talk
• Stance - the ways people involved in interaction indicate their thoughts and feelings on things
