Temporality in interaction is based on presentations and discussions held at the panel of the same name organized by the editors of the book at the 12th International Pragmatics Conference. The volume shows, by means of analysing naturally occurring data, how speakers rely on time dimensions to understand each other in language-in-interaction. Therefore, the semantic aspects of time are not addressed in this volume; instead it focuses on demonstrating the adaptation of grammar to interactional temporal constraints. The introduction by the editors of the book, Arnulf Deppermann and Susanne Günthner, presents the focus of the book, a brief review of the articles that compose the book, and concepts such as retrospection and projection, sequentiality and simultaneity, and multimodal temporalities. The volume is divided into three sections: I. Mechanisms of temporality in interactions; II. Temporally-structured constructions: a temporal perspective on syntactic constructions; and III. Temporal organization of multimodal interaction. There is also an Appendix containing the transcription conventions. The first article of section I, by Peter Auer, shows how the concepts of projection and latency are seen in conversational syntax. The second article, by Arnulf Deppermann, focuses on retrospection in interactions and argues that most intersubjectivity is accomplished without explicit displays of understandings. The last article of section I, by Cecilia E. Ford and Barbara A. Fox, counters Hopper's theory of Emergent Grammar and proposes that some grammatical forms can be created for single moments of interaction and never become sedimented. Section II starts with an article by Paul Hopper, which claims that the discourse approach to sluicing gives a perspective of time unfolding in interaction due to its projective and retroactive functions. The second article, by Simona Pekarek Doehler, displays an analysis of how the French construction (il) y a NP ‘there is NP’ projects talk and helps speakers holding the turn. The third article, by Yael Maschler, presents the emergent Hebrew (N_S)V/VN_S syntax, which, together with prosody, guides the hearer in the temporal unfolding of the narrative. The fourth article of section II, by Susanne Günthner, focuses on the German connector und zwar ‘namely/in fact’ showing how it links the current utterance to prior ones and anticipates upcoming activities. Section III starts with an article by Lorenza Mondada, which presents an analysis of how French, English as a lingua franca and Swiss German use embodied actions (such as gestures, object manipulations and body movements) to achieve turn and sequence completions. Leelo Keevallik closes the volume with an article that shows how dance teachers coordinate talk and embodied demonstrations through time. The book as a whole presents relevant, innovative studies about temporality in naturally occurring interactions, aggregating new ways of describing how speakers deal with temporal contingencies in talk-in-interaction.
