Qualitative analyses reveal how natural audiences behave in the reception situation appropriating live televised football through talk. Gerhardt shows how the mainly English television viewers use an array of linguistic and embodied resources to turn watching football into a meaningful activity in their groups. Cohesive devices and sequentiality link the fans’ talk-in-interaction to the televised text (commentary and pictures). Gaze behaviour, pointing, and even jumping up and down are used as resources for a variety of functions like the construction of an identity as football fan.Studies in pragmatics ;Volume 13.Interpersonal communicationSequence (Linguistics)Television broadcasting of sportsSocial aspectsTelevision viewersSportsLanguageSoccer fansInterpersonal communication.Sequence (Linguistics)Television broadcasting of sportsSocial aspects.Television viewers.SportsLanguage.Soccer fans.302.2345Gerhardt Cornelia872417MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806909703321Appropriating live televised football through talk4011064UNINA
