Abstract

The natural home of laughter is in interaction. In this paper, we explore cases of laughter as a joint production, and examine the phonetic resources available to the interactants to manage the temporal coordination of their laughter. We show that participants in spoken interaction can make use of the rhythmic and ‘intonational’ affordances of laughter to manage aspects of its unfolding in time, and its relation to subsequent talk. We thus approach laughter dialogically and consider how participants in interaction treat one another’s laughter moment-by-moment.
