ANALYSIS OF TOPIC
1) BREAKDOWN OF TOPICS EXCHANGED
A) Asking if he wants juice.
B) Talking about the time he starts work.
C) Asking if he wants French fries.
D) Asking how much the food cost.
E) Talking about why Ann didn't come to school.
F) Commenting on quality of the food.
G) Asking about the time of his basketball game.
H) Criticizing the way he eats.
3) RATIONALES OF ACCOUNT FOR THE STRUCTURE 0F THE TOPIC OVER TIME:
The topic Or food was brought up because we were eating. Because he had started a new job that day, the time of when he started came up. The conversation about Ann was brought up because she is a mutual friend. Basketball was another subject because the game was coming up in a few days.
4) GENERAL LAWS:
When the topic changed from the cost of food to what happened at school, there was a 22 second pause as opposed to a 2 second one from the beginning of the tape to the first sentence. The cause of the longer than usual pause could be because the new topic of school is completely different from the topic of food.

ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIP
1)ROLE TYPES:
Asks a lot of questions (A)
Repeats himself (B)
Critical (A)
2) PAIR TYPES:
Friendly to one another (A-B)
Joke a lot to each other (A-B)
3) DEVELOPMENT OF EXCHANGE:
A initiates the topic of work. She asks about the time he starts and ends. This implies curiosity. B answers both questions about starting and ending time. B then says he's a hard working man and A disagrees--jokingly. This is a reasonable outcome as B is sort of on the topic of work.
4) RELATIONSHIP:
The relationship is one of being good friends - able to joke around and criticize each other. They must understand and like each other to spend time out of class together. They see each other as equals because they are members of the same peer group.
ANALYSIS OF THE SETTING
1 ) CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN PHYSICAL SETTING AND UTTERANCES:
In this particular setting A and B eat their own food. They don't pass things around. Twice A offers to share her French fries with B but he refuses both times. B eats loudly, chokes, and sighs which is typical of him.
2) CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN HISTORICAL POSITION IN EPISODE AND UTTERANCES
Food is a topic at three different times in the conversation. However, they aren't too elaborate conversation pieces when they are mentioned. The first topic, the amount of juice, and the last, the way B eats, are sort of related in the snide way that B answers A's questions. They are also related in a sense that they are take-offs from the topic of food, but not directly related.
3) CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN FEATURES OF THE AMBIENT CONTEXT AND THE RHYTHM OF EXCHANGE:
A asks a lot of questions and does most of the leading into the conversation topics. B hardly gives long answers to A's questions. The one time that he does is when the topic of basketball, one of his favorite sports, comes up.
4) RELATIONS TO DAILY ROUND:
The topics of food arose because we were eating at the time of the taping. Juice especially came up because we needed something to drink with our food. The topic of work came up because B started at a new job that day. Talking about Ann, a mutual friend, became a topic because we had both gone to school that day and she was in one of Ann's classes. It was unusual that she didn't go to class that day. School is a natural topic to any one who attends. The subject of basketball was discussed because B had a game coming up soon.
5) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISCLOSURE IN ORAL TALK AND DISCOURSE IN WRITING:
Discourse is the natural flow of conversation or writing there isn't as smooth a flow of words because you are constantly thinking ideas over and can always go back and change them, as in writing a letter. In speaking, oral talk, people usually just say what comes naturally to them--what pops into their heads. There is no way that they can retract what was said earlier. They must concentrate on the conversation at hand, not how they are going to answer.
