In the following extract from a telephone conversation.

The caller, quotes and utterances.

Stance, alignment and affiliation during story telling.

When nodding is a token of affiliation and you can’t see me nod, but I’m nodding,

I'm nodding.

There is a coordination of talk, gaze, and gesture.

None of these work in radio.

Tellings are primarily descriptive.

How are you able to participate in larger telling?

Those parts of it that narrate or tell about the events being described.

And those that reenact them.

Analysis of several instances suggests that speaker gaze plays a crucial role in this respect.

But, this speaker cannot gaze at you.

Close your eyes and, imagine, imagine.

The analytical and conceptual consequences of transcription.

Elaborating on the foundation, on the basis of video and audio recordings.

These are classic and contemporary challenges.

This is beyond gesture, beyond gaze.
