| dc.description.abstract | Though a number of studies reveal different discursive techniques used by politicians during live interviews, few has been conducted in Thai political contexts. This study examines patterns of answering developed by the Thai politicians to respond to different types of questions in broadcast news interviews during an electoral campaign for Bangkok governor in 2013. With an application of conversation analysis (CA), this study also reveals the relationship between the interviewer (IR) and the interviewees’ (IEs) discursive and cooperative practices in pursuing the institutional goals and role relationships. | th |
| dc.description.abstract | In order to achieve the institutional goals under specific norms, the IR employed different techniques to reassure unbiased questioning namely footing shift. Also, the IEs constrained by institutional practice to provide responses accomplish such goal through various discursive techniques. The IEs’ varied answering could be seen as a way to stay allowable in the particular context of news interviews and at the same time be persistent in their messages. Accordingly, the IEs’ responding turns in this study are discussed in relation to topic and action relevancies to prior questioning turns. Empirically, the direct response occurs most when the interview questions concern general issues unconnected to the IE. The indirect response exists in various forms to signify either agreement or disagreement to the question that concerns personal characteristics, state of mind, and the IE’s proposals. The non-responsive answer, on the other hand, is used by the IEs to avoid the IR’s questioning turn that may be excessively complex to understand or excessively uncertain for them to provide commitment. | th |
| dc.description.abstract | Despite the pre-determined roles constraining possible action for each party to follow, the IR and the IEs’ mutual interaction in this study slightly altered the conventional relationship from questioner – answerer to facilitator – respondent. That is to say the IR was empirically found to use different discursive devices as well as interactional cues to invoke the IE’s response, to make relevance and facilitate continuity of the IE’s response, and to improve the IE’s response to contribute to the success of the news interviews. The comprehensive knowledge provided by this study, therefore can be used as a guideline to gain insight into possibility of speech exchange, and to develop discursive practices for an interview that concerns political issues within Thai context. | th |
