In order to ground the work in empirical evidence, verbal interaction in similar situations - Japanese and American cooking classes - is compared. Unlike other studies of verbal interaction, a genre analysis approach is used to examine regular patterns at three levels of language use: interaction, discourse, and grammar. Collectively, these patterns exhibit both similarities and differences across the classes in the two cultures, creating the unique event that has been institutionalized as a cooking class in each culture. In concluding, the author suggests that genre analysis is a useful approach for cross-cultural research in that it provides information about situation-specific language use, but also information about what aspects of linguistic structure are likely to become conventionalized across languages and cultures, across situations, and across time.Pragmatics & beyond ;new ser., v. 109.SociolinguisticsComparative methodSocial interactionJapanSocial interactionUnited StatesCooking schoolsSociolinguisticsComparative method.Social interactionSocial interactionCooking schools.306.44Mayes Patricia1629656MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819118703321Language, social structure, and culture4199187UNINA
