Lexical Exponents of Concentration of Attention in a School Discourse

Summary/Abstract: The study is based on interpretation of a textual unit defi ned as an episode – in the form of speech act confi guration, which registers (represents) a certain period of special concentration of attention, which lasts until the attention is shifted to another object of thought. It is about a unit of perception and thinking which gathers attention of a speaker – listener and supports their concentration until they reach the limit of an episode. On the grounds of communicative grammar, speech acts forcing to increased concentration of attention (in our context it would be the teacher’s utterance: let’s pay attention to) realize a double conversational strategy: controlling students’ attention and supporting meta-cursive tactics associated with the command-request for concentration of attention.
