  The paper investigates directives addressed to tower crane operators by a construction worker. By examining grammatical variation in connection with load relocation tasks, the study shows how the design and the sequential positioning of directive turns vary systematically according to a particular phase of the work task and the overall structural organization of the activity. The worker's selection of lexico-syntactic forms and embodied actions displays an orientation to the different stages of the work task being carried out. The sequential, compositional and morpho-syntactic differences in the formation of directives serve to manage and display task progressivity. The worker speaks L2 Norwegian with several unidiomatic features, but nonetheless displays a systematic differentiation between the forms in orienting to the sequential and phase-structural characteristics of the actions being performed.

  The current study examines the role of action-depicting gestures in conversational turns by focusing on their semantic characteristics and temporal position in relation to their verbal affiliates (action verbs or more complex verb phrases). The data are video recordings of naturally occurring interactions in multilingual construction sites in Norway. The analysis distinguishes two modes of action depiction: generic depictions, which represent the action as a general type, and contextualized depictions, which in addition include deictic references to the spatio-material environment or iconic representations of the specific manner of action performance. These two modes typically occupy different positions in the turn. Generic depictions are mostly initiated before the verbalization of the action or are synchronized with it, while contextualized depictions mostly start simultaneously with the verbalization and extend beyond the verb phrase or the turn. The pre-positioned and synchronized generic gestures are shown to serve as a practice for facilitating recognition of the verbalized action and may be temporally manipulated in order to pre-empt understanding problems in the face of reduced common linguistic resources. The post-positioned contextualized depictions serve instead to add specifying information about aspects of the action referred to and thereby to complement or supplement the meaning of the verb phrase, securing understanding of action specifics. The study contributes to research on gesture-speech synchrony by demonstrating how variation in the alignment of action depiction and syntax is used to direct the recipient’s attention toward different interactional goals.

  In Norwegian, unlike English, negative interrogatives are commonly used as requests for action. In addition, the negation adverb ikke can be placed either before or after a pronominal subject. The study explores pragmatic differences between these two request formats, using everyday conversations from the TV series Big Brother as corpus data. We argue that the difference concerns the contingencies faced by the speaker in gaining compliance. The format with preposed negation (Kan ikke jeg/du X? - ‘Can't I/you X?’) requests confirmation of the assumption that the interlocutor can and will do the requested action and that any obstacles to gaining compliance are merely hypothetical. The format with postposed negation (Kan jeg/du ikke X? - ‘Can I/you not X?’), on the other hand, is used when there are contextually manifest obstacles and the speaker seeks to gain compliance in spite of them. Interrogatives with preposed negation take advantage of premises conducive to having action performed and are used to prevent refusal, while those with postposed negation are employed to combat the obstacles and win compliance.

  Artikkelen tar for seg bruk av finalpartikkelen da i interrogative anmodninger med modalverbet kan. Fenomenet analyseres i naturlig forekommende samtaler og ses på fra et sosiokognitivt perspektiv som forbinder kognitivt orientert pragmatikk med interaksjonell lingvistikk. Når da brukes i anmodninger, henviser taleren til en eller flere kontekstuelle premisser som implisitt skal begrunne hans anmodning. Datamaterialet viser at da regelmessig brukes i negerte interrogativer og at den svært sjelden forekommer i positive interrogativer. Dette er fordi partikkelens semantikk identifisert gjennom den sekvensielle analysen inngår i et komplekst samspill med ytringens funksjon. Da kommuniserer hvordan kontekstuelle premisser forholder seg til det proposisjonelle innholdet og til selve handlingen anmodningen indikerer på bakgrunn av det forutgående i interaksjonen. Forekomsten av da synes å markere handlingen som høyst ønskelig ved å referere til mottakerens medansvar for selve anmodningen samtidig som hennes spillerom i interaksjonen snevres inn.
