“REVOICING” (O’CONNOR AND MICHAELS 1993, 2007)
Revoicing sequence in classroom(1) Ms. Davies: Paulo, is 24 even or odd?(2) Paulo: Well, if we could use 3, then it could go into
that, but 3 is odd. So then if it was … but … 3 is even. I mean odd. So then if it’s odd, it’s not even.
(3) Ms. Davies: OK, so let me see if I understand. So you’re saying that 24 is an odd number?
(4) Paulo: Yeah, because 3 goes into it. Because 24 divided by 3 is 8.
(O’Connor et al. 2007: 279)

TEACHER’S REVOICING
“Whereas the IRE is a three-part move, ended by the teacher’s evaluation, the revoicing move is a four-part move, with the student having the ultimate interpretive clout, the right to agree or disagree with the teacher’s formulation” (281).

CP’S REVOICING IN TEA-TIME TALK
• Maintaining participation framework in which CP has the overall control of the discourse.
• Facilitating elderly participants’ comprehension of the prior utterance by rephrasing word-for-word in a louder and clearer voice.
• Giving time for the participants with AD/Dementia to process information.
• Acknowledging and foregrounding the voice of the old, i.e., their knowledge and experiences.

studies with younger generations (e.g. Mak and Carpenter 2007).

DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA/AD• Some conversational features that require highly cognitive
and highly communicative skills (e.g. turn-taking management, humor production in anticipation of its uptake by the recipients) may remain relatively unaffected by the disease.
• Close observation of naturally occurring discourse enables us to look at the data from multiple perspectives in order to find out (1) discourse behavior (abilities/inabilities) of the elderly, (2) interactional behavior (abilities/inabilities) of the younger conversational partners, (3) meaning of aging in a given culture.
